Testimonials

CDFIs benefit communities like Syracuse, which have experienced economic decline due to the withdrawal of large employers (like Carrier, GE, etc.) but are also seeing revitalization.

-Lisa Saka, Resident, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs are filling in gaps in the capital markets that make financing more widely accessible and contribute to greater economic prosperity for all.

-Jennifer Talansky, Nonprofit Finance Fund, New York, NY

CDFIs help people with the big repairs, supporting jobs, and financing vehicles to get to work and shopping. These are all good for the economy as well for those individual families.
