| Purpose: |
NDN Fund, an emerging Native Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) is the lending arm of the NDN Collective, providing financing for pre-development, bridge, and large-scale Indigenous regenerative development projects that dramatically scale up investment and shift all decision-making power to Indigenous peoples.
NDN Fund’s overall impact thesis is to lead a movement in delivering integrated capital solutions and capacity for Native Nations, Indigenous changemakers, community developers, and enterprises. From a project’s start-to-finish, we ensure a resilient and regenerative framework that is built around the principles set forth below.
We are creating a paradigm shift in how society invests in economic development by grounding investment strategy in Indigenous systems thinking, recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and our responsibilities to our homelands and each other. This means that we uphold the principles of regenerative and just economies that are both led by and serve Indigenous communities. We support development and investment from a project’s start-to-finish grounded in the principles set forth below to support a just transition and better future |
