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

These funds were used to construct our high school building, which has served thousands of students and families in our community.

-Todd Peterson, Hiawatha Academies, Minneapolis, MN

We ask for your support because CDFIs are a reliable and thoroughly vetted resource to urban, suburban, and rural communities across the country, ensuring businesses and homebuyers have access to capital that helps alleviate generational poverty.
