Testimonials

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

After coming from several years working in for-profit corporations into a CDFI, I’ve come to appreciate the real benefits CDFIs provide to communities at all levels. CDFIs provide consumer, commercial, mortgage loans, housing development, community facilities when needed, and more creative solutions.

-Julia Nelmark, Midwest Minnesota Community Development Corporation (MMCDC), Detroit Lakes, MN

CDFIs make otherwise impossible projects possible.
