Testimonials

As a certified CDFI and SBA lender, our organization directly serves the communities and businesses this administration is working to support. We provide capital to small manufacturers, job-creating entrepreneurs, and individuals acquiring businesses from retiring owners-the so-called “silver tsunami.” Our work helps keep vital businesses operating and people employed. CDFIs are a proven and effective mechanism for delivering capital where it is needed most. With continued federal support, we stand ready to expand our impact and remain on the front lines of economic development in underserved communities across the country.

CDFIs are important for local economic development.

Cheri Capparelli, Rockacres veterinary, Manlius, 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.
