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

Fund program has been instrumental to Cooperative Federal’s work over the years, helping us reach more people and have a bigger impact on our local neighborhoods.

-Renald Dupuis, Cooperative Federal Credit Union, Syracuse, 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.
