Testimonials

The work we do in underbanked and underserved Rural Appalachia is important to bring our constituents forward.

-James Caudill, Redbud Financial Alternatives, Inc., Hazard, KY

I’ve been a member of a CDFI for 25 yrs and would never go back to a traditional bank, due to the good works that I’ve seen done by CDFI’s. I was also a board member for a few years at one, so I know the inner workings and understand the community missions they take on. My children and I have had a stable home for the past 18 years, partly due to the credit building assistance we received from a CDFI.

-Stacy Crandell, Member owner, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs are critical to our economy. They step in where banks can’t – or wont – go. They leverage hundreds of millions of private dollars every year and invest them in underserved businesses and communities, based on need and impact. This is an effective, efficient public-private solution to pressing social and economic issues throughout our country.
