Testimonials

Community based CDFIs are vital sources of private capital to areas most in need of investment and jobs.

-Christopher Burnham, Volunteer, Akron, OH

CDFIs fill a vital role in economic growth of communities and prosperity for all Americans. The rigor and discipline that CDFIs employ proves that you can promote opportunity for all while making wise financing and lending decisions. CDFIs operate in the Abundance mentality and are focused on creating win-win scenarios.

-Joe Huber, Cincinnati Development Fund, Cincinnati, OH

As a CDFI, we are able to provide loans and investments to borrowers for projects that improve the quality of life in our community’s low to moderate income census tracts. Frequently, these transactions are not supported by financial institutions directly under competitive terms and conditions that we as a CDFI can make.

-Dan Kane, Dayton Region New Market Fund, Kettering, OH
