Testimonials

As a CDFI, we are able to provide loans and investments to borrowers for projects that improve the quality of life in our community’s low to moderate income census tracts. Frequently, these transactions are not supported by financial institutions directly under competitive terms and conditions that we as a CDFI can make.

-Dan Kane, Dayton Region New Market Fund, Kettering, OH

CDFIs are a lifeline for many small business owners who cannot get traditional financing from large banks.

-Ericka Powell Sinclair, Harlem Entrepreneurial Fund, LLC, New York, NY

CDFIs in Missouri provide essential capital to help small businesses grow and contribute to the economy and their families. We must not delay in ensuring these critical organizations have the resources necessary to continue supporting the resilience of businesses, families, and communities across our state and our country.
