As a Native CDFI, funding from the CDFI Fund provides Native communities with access to capital that would otherwise be unavailable. Due to the complexities of tribal lands, traditional banks do not offer the same financial opportunities. Native CDFIs, supported by the CDFI Fund, are bridging this gap by providing equitable access to capital in ways that were previously unheard of.
CDFIs provide the flexible and essential financing for community development, affordable housing, small business and nonprofits that other lenders dont serve. They connect communities with capital.
