SD01 Fact Sheet

CDFIs assist businesses and individuals that often cannot access bank capital. Especially in rural SD access to capital is difficult and the # of small banks have been reduced.

-Lori Finnesand, GROW SD, Sisseton, SD

I support CDFIs because they provide needed capital for small businesses and first-time homebuyers. This capital allows people to build wealth and/or provide a product/service to their community, which leads to economic prosperity for the local area. Because the financing is provided as a loan, clients are equally invested in the success of their home/business.

-Megan Fischer, GROW South Dakota, Sisseton, SD

CDFIs provide much-needed assistance to individuals and businesses in the state of South Dakota.
