Testimonials

I appreciate the aspect of the program that puts decision-making in the hands of non-governmental institutions. I think this facilitates efficient use of tax-payer dollars.

Jeremy Donaldson, Hope Academy, Minneapolis, MN

We have a critical community project that we are planning to build this year using CDFI funds. It will create new jobs and help small business owners.

Dana Nelson, Tubman, Minneapolis, MN

Peter Berrie, Faegre Drinker, Minneapolis, MN
