Testimonials

At Prestamos, we support CDFIs because they are a lifeline for underserved communities, providing access to capital and technical assistance where traditional financial institutions often fall short. CDFI funding enables us to offer flexible, culturally competent lending and support services that help small businesses grow, create jobs, and build generational wealth. Without CDFIs, too many communities would be left behind in our economic recovery and growth. We are proud to be part of the solution that bridges this equity gap.

Amber Cordoba, Prestamos CDFI, Phoenix, AZ

I cannot state strongly enough how important CDFIs have been to my community and to the country as a whole. They rely in part — as they should — on federal financial support. Please release funds for use by the many CDFIs in the USA.

Maggie Cohn, Back of the Hill CDC, Roxbury Crossing, MA

Native CDFIs are important to fixing the housing crisis in Indian Country. They are a way for Tribes to attract capital that leave Tribal members in control.

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY)

CDFI are critical in our outline areas. The focus areas and collaborative efforts with tribal members continue to be a success.
