WI03 Fact Sheet

CDFIs make our urban and rural economies healthy working alongside financial institutions and providing that responsible capital!

-Wendy K. Baumann, WWBIC, Mequon, WI

Our Native communities are very close knit and culturally dependent upon the community to hold those sacred ways in place. Our communities need the CDFIs as they better understand and serve the community members in a way that is critical to the success of home ownership, small business support and primarily teaching the outside world’s credit system and how it affects each member. We strive to strengthen the financial wellbeing of our communities where government and the outside world falls short.

-Becky Albert-Breed, First Nations Community Financial, Black River Falls, WI

This is greater than just the CDFI Fund. There are countless of small businesses that cannot get financial support in a traditional lending institution.
