It’s Time to Connect!

The NCN 5th Annual Summit will take place December 11-13, 2024, in Washington, D.C. The three-day event will bring together Native CDFI practitioners, funders, policymakers, and other industry partners to bridge ideas and resources that will advance Native CDFI efforts to build economic resilience and sustainability in areas of housing development, home ownership, and green energy solutions.

This is a unique opportunity to connect with fellow leaders and discuss the pressing needs of Native communities. Your participation will contribute to shaping the dialogue around policy changes and funding that are crucial for advancing the mission of Native CDFIs.

Throughout the event, you will engage in meaningful discussions, attend informative workshops, and network with individuals who share a commitment to strengthening Native CDFIs. Our goal is to enhance the capacity of these organizations and advocate effectively for the support they need to make a lasting impact.

As part of the event, we are delighted to include a networking dinner reception at the National Museum of the American Indian. This special evening will provide an opportunity to tour the Potomac Atrium, Rasmuson Theater, and the museum’s galleries. This venue not only offers a beautiful setting for our gathering but also an enriching experience of Native heritage and culture.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact NCN Communications Director Shauntel Hogan at [email protected]. We look forward to your presence and to the valuable contributions you will bring to this important event.

Note: If you are an NCN Member, your organization will receive up to two complimentary Summit registrations. Additional registrations must be purchased at the non-member rate.
