Native CDFIs: Partners for Sustainable Investments with Long-Term Impact

We talked to leaders of banks, asset management firms, financial institutions, and other funders and partners about Native community development financial institutions (CDFIs). We asked them to describe what convinced them to invest in or partner with Native CDFIs and filmed their responses. This video tells a narrative of what they said, making a strong case for the valuable role Native CDFIs play in building self-sufficient economic and cultural wealth in Native communities.
