Native Community Capital

Native Community Capital is also the result of an historic first when in 2019 three previously separate Native CDFI’s agreed to operate as one organization. The vision realized is the combining of talent, assets and markets to pursue a shared goal of closing the financial gap between tribes and the financial sector. Our work with tribes, individual Native Americans and Native entrepreneurs helps them better prepare to access private sector capital and other underutilized resources for projects, homes and businesses. Our work with public- and private-sector partners helps them better deploy their resources intended for under served Native communities. Together we navigate the restricted nature of Indian lands as well as historical, economic, and cultural factors to increase access to capital for Native America.

Native Community Capital makes loans to tribes, developers, and individual tribal members to stimulate and accelerate economic-, community-, and small business development that benefits Indian Country. We are an approved lender through the Bureau of Indian Affairs Loan Guarantee and Loan Insurance programs and we leverage other strategic partnerships that link tribes to several large-scale capital resources through our technical assistance and brokering services.
