Testimonials

The CDFI industry has grown thanks to broad bipartisan support over the last 25 years. We’re counting on Congress to keep this essential economic development engine moving forward.

Meagan Weatherby, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, 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.

Susan Hamilton, Syracuse Cooperative Federal Credit Union, Syracuse, NY

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 help reduce poverty in our community.
