Testimonials

CDFIs provide extraordinary support to many people who otherwise would not be able to access ordinary banking and credit opportunities. They are frequently located in banking deserts”

-Sam Eschenbrenner, Syracuse Cooperative Federal Credit Union, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs do vital work to support individuals and small businesses in our communities. Please make sure this funding continues!

-Kimberley McCoy, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, NY

I’ve been a member of a CDFI for 25 yrs and would never go back to a traditional bank, due to the good works that I’ve seen done by CDFI’s. I was also a board member for a few years at one, so I know the inner workings and understand the community missions they take on. My children and I have had a stable home for the past 18 years, partly due to the credit building assistance we received from a CDFI.
