About this conference

The Capital Access Convening (CAC) provides an important opportunity for practitioners, investors, and funders to focus on the impact Native CDFIs are making in their communities, take advantage of practitioner-focused trainings on expanding investment opportunities, housing sector lending, green financing initiatives, and much more, and also celebrate one another. This multi-day event includes intensive training for Native CDFIs, a closed-door session for funders and investors, and networking opportunities. Together, we build on our collective voice to advance economic justice across Indian Country. Held on the sacred Wabanaki homelands, it honors the power of Indigenous innovation, the strength of community wealth building, and the enduring sovereignty of Native nations.
