The Native CDFI Network (NCN), in partnership with the Wisconsin Indigenous Housing & Economic Development Corporation (WIHEDC), is pleased to invite you to our Midwest Regional Event on August 7–8, 2025 at the Oneida Casino Hotel in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The Native CDFI Network (NCN) recently learned that the Trump Administration intends to obligate only $4 million of the $28 million in federal funding that Congress recently appropriated for the CDFI Fund’s Native CDFI Assistance (NACA) Program for FY 2025, meaning it plans to withhold a total of $24 million in funding for qualified Native CDFIs (a reduction of 86%).

Over the weekend, most federal agencies released detailed FY 2026 budget justifications pursuant to the basic parameters President Trump included in his Discretionary Budget Request overview in early May. As expected, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Congressional Justification features a 90% reduction in funding for the CDFI Fund from its FY 2025 funding level of $324 million to just $33 million for FY 2026.

The Native CDFI Network (NCN) invites all Native CDFIs and other key partners to sign on to a joint letter to U.S. Senate leadership regarding the Senate’s pending deliberations of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R.1),

Join us for an upcoming NCN Live webinar featuring Syncurrent, an AI-driven platform designed to streamline the process of identifying and accessing federal and state funding opportunities for Tribal Nations and local governments. 

NCN extends its appreciation to the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) and the Indian Gaming Association (IGA) for including NCN in a powerful two-days of tribal policy briefings and engagement May 13-14 in Washington, D.C.

NCN is excited to announce its summer training series Risk-Proof Your Funding: Compliance Tactics for Native CDFIs.

Today, the Native CDFI Network (NCN) and 66 Native CDFIs and other key partners delivered a powerful message to Capitol Hill, calling on Congress to reject the proposed defunding of the Native American CDFI Assistance (NACA) Program in President Trump’s FY 2026 Discretionary Budget Request.

To ensure that Native CDFIs continue receiving the critical support they need, we must speak up now. To support your outreach, we’ve prepared a message template you can download, personalize, and send directly to your representatives.

We’re proud to share NCN’s Quarter 1 Impact Report — a powerful reflection of the momentum, unity, and determination of Native CDFIs across the country.
