Testimonials from Self-Help Depositors

Everyone has a reason for investing money at Self-Help.  We wanted to share a couple of those stories with you.  We'd love to know how you discovered us.  Please take a minute and email us your story!

• Read what Non-Profits are saying about their investments with Self-Help. Like Luther Ragin, at The F.B. Heron Foundation: “We invest for impact. That’s why we’re attracted to the tangible and lasting result of Self-Help’s work to improve the lives of low-income people and communities."
• United Methodist Foundation, Raleigh, NC   "With Self-Help, we were happy to discover that we could have a money market style of investment, with attractive interest rates, and be socially responsible.”

• Ann Alexander, Durham, NC   “If you can take your cash assets, put them at Self-Help, earn as much as you would at a traditional bank, and help people who are not able to obtain credit from conventional sources get money to buy a house or start a small business and work their way out of poverty by building equity…why wouldn’t you? When you see how your money can do ‘double-duty’—it’s a no-brainer.”

• Sarah Johnson, Pittsburgh, PA   "My husband and I are very pleased that our CD at Self-Help is assisting others in some small way."

• Eric Wiebe, Durham, NC    "Putting my money in Self-Help has been a great long-term investment. I earn a competitive return AND support the great work Self-Help is doing."
• Joel Fleishman, Chapel Hill, NC   "[Self-Help accounts] offer both the security of a government-guaranteed principal and the personal satisfaction of strengthening Self-Help’s ability to finance opportunity for those who cannot obtain it otherwise. What more could one wish to have in an investment vehicle?"
