Client Spotlight: An Emerging CDFI Credit Union sought to better serve small businesses…

and faced a common challenge: translating good intentions into effective programs. Our partnership began with a comprehensive demographic study that combined market analysis with nearly twenty community interviews, revealing specific underserved business segments. This foundation allowed us to develop practical implementation tools – underwriting guidelines, loan policies, and profitability models designed for sustainability with or without additional CDFI funding.

Later, when the same credit union prepared to expand into a nearby city, Profound Hope Industries provided targeted market analysis that identified specific community needs and potential partners. This focused approach enabled confident market entry without diluting resources.

Throughout implementation, an ongoing retainer relationship ensured strategic alignment across all touchpoints – from marketing materials to partnership development.

A mission-aligned small business program that created meaningful community impact while strengthening the credit union’s position as a trusted financial partner. By building systematically from research to implementation to expansion, the organization transformed aspiration into action, creating opportunity where it was needed most.

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah Marshall from Profound Hope Industries on a recent project and I cannot speak highly enough of her contributions and expertise. From the outset, she impressed me with her enthusiasm for the project, depth of knowledge, and dedication to delivering usable results. She provided valuable insights and strategic guidance to our Board, which has influenced our direction to achieve our goal of being a strong partner to the low to moderate-income community.

Sarah & PHI were instrumental in the development of our newly formed corporation Magnolia FCU CDC.   Sarah was knowledgeable, thorough, and meticulous during every phase of our engagement.   Not only was she critical for the infrastructure and strategy of our CDC, but she also has an uncanny ability to reassure you and point you back to the big picture of the mission during times of cynicism and doubt.  Sarah’s got the perfect blend of brain and heart for non-profit consulting.  Do yourself a favor and hire her.
