Testimonials

CDFIs solve for capital access gaps that increase economic opportunities for people and communities who have been excluded from that opportunity.

-Micha Josephy, Cooperative Fund of the Northeast, Inc., Watertown, MA

Our CDFI has made it possible for me and many others in our community to buy a house, make a budget, and function as responsible community members through educational and financial services.

-Ms. Susan L. Schoonmaker, Cooperative Federal Credit Union, Syracuse, NY

The impact CDFI organizations make through their lending programs helps communities by providing financing that helps create or expand a small business, create or sustain jobs, and offers communities an expanded tax base.

-Phil Black, Community Investment Fund of Indiana, Indianapolis, IN
