Testimonials

CDFIs can provide financial tools tailored to the needs of their communities. As a non-profit CDFI serving low-income rural communities, this is very valuable.

-Marty Miller, Office of Rural and Farmworker Housing (ORFH), Yakima, WA

Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are essential to supporting businesses that serve as the backbone and cultural foundation of their communities.

-Alvertis Brooks Jr., Rainier Valley Community Development Fund, Seattle,, WA

CDFIs make banking accessible for entrepreneurs and small businesses that often lack the institutional knowledge and networks to feel confident in the lending space. CDFIs are a critical tool that helps diversify our economy.
