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

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

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.
