With more than 70 Native community development financial institutions and supporters, the Native CDFI Network (NCN) is the leading industry organization supporting Native CDFIs across Indian Country. NCN strives to ensure that Native peoples are represented in the national policy dialogue and to spread the innovative solutions created by CDFIs throughout our Native communities. Most importantly, it provides an extended community where Native financial professionals can share proven models and ideas to restore native economies and foster thriving communities.
As a member of the Native CDFI Network you will be part of a collective voice advocating for expanded access to capital and promoting the role of Native CDFIs as vital providers of financial products and services in Native communities. Your participation will help build support for our advocacy and leadership on legislative and policy matters at the federal level, particularly within the CDFI Fund and the Department of the Treasury.
You should become an NCN member if you are:
- a Native CDFI that wants to be actively involved in policy advocacy to increase resources for and advance the role of Native CDFIs in supporting thriving Native economies.
- an organization that works in related fields that support the work of Native CDFIs.
- an individual who is working with or is supportive of the mission of Native CDFIs
