Testimonials

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

Our credit union has been a certified institution since 2017 if not for the [CDFI] program we could not lend to individuals that have a problem getting funding if this program is not funded many citizens who are in financially weakest position the most.

-Michael Veksler, The Finest Federal Credit Union, New York, NY

In Syracuse’s depressed economy, CDFIs have been a lifeline for aiding some of the most financially challenged residents and businesses. My credit union has leveraged CDFI funds to lift many households out of poverty, and we need this to continue.
