Testimonials

CDFIs are a lifeline for many small business owners who cannot get traditional financing from large banks.

-Ericka Powell Sinclair, Harlem Entrepreneurial Fund, LLC, New York, NY

Our local CDFI has been essential to supporting our organization, our members and so many people in our community who have struggled to access capital and financial services. They understand how to work with our communities and have assisted so many first time home-buyers and new businesses in getting on track and being financially stable. For many of our members this is where they’ve opened their first bank account and learned how to manage their finances.

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.
