Tribal Finance Resource Center

-About Tribal Finance

Tribal communities often require specialized financing tools and programs to support their unique development needs. Many tools and approaches exist to uplift native communities through increased access to financial resources, collaborative partnerships, and greater agency among tribal governments.

CDFA's Tribal Finance Resource Center provides information about how the development finance toolbox can be structured to support tribal communities and help preserve small businesses, promote community health, restore local economies, and protect our environment.

Additional support is available to tribal communities through the CDFA Community Facilities Technical Assistance Program for Tribal Communities. Funded by the USDA, this program offers resources that are accessible to every tribal community, including a Tribal Finance Project Marketplace and a Tribal Financing Webinar Series.
