Testimonials

CDFIs are a lifeline for many small business owners who cannot get traditional financing from large banks.

-Ericka Powell Sinclair, Harlem Entrepreneurial Fund, LLC, New York, NY

CDFIs provide access to critical financial services and education in a way that’s accessible to and designed for low income and low wealth people and families. CDFIs help strengthen the US economy by expanding opportunities for homeownership, small business, and consumer credit., and federal grants to CDFIs are leveraged many times over by private capital. Due to the success of this work, the CDFI Fund has been sustained by broad, bipartisan support for 25 years.

-Christina Sauve, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs are absolutely critical to provide funds for residential and business loans which grow our economy.
