Capital Rooted in Community
As part of our strategic goal to raise $500 million by 2030, the Building Native Futures Fund (BNFF) is more than just a fundraising effort—it is a movement to empower Native communities by leveraging the collective strength of partnerships. BNFF is a bold step forward in realizing our vision for Native prosperity, sovereignty, and resilience. Rooted in Indigenous values and guided by community, the Fund will help bridge the capital gap that has long limited opportunity for Native Nations and Native-led entities.
Through this initiative, we will deploy direct financing to unlock scalable, Native community-owned development and fuel economic independence across Indian Country. Our approach centers on catalyzing energy sovereignty and climate resilience—acknowledging both the urgent threats posed by climate change and the transformational potential of renewable energy.
At the heart of the Building Native Futures Fund is our commitment to expand lending and capital access—a foundational step toward long-term economic transformation for Native communities. Aligned with our long-term strategic priorities, BNFF will:
- Expand access to capital for Native Nations and Native-led projects
- Accelerate infrastructure and renewable energy solutions in partnership with Native CDFIs
- Advance economic self-determination and generational wealth-building
- Support development that is grounded in Indigenous values and designed for lasting impact
Indian Country stands at a pivotal moment. While Native communities have demonstrated extraordinary resilience, systemic barriers continue to limit access to capital and economic opportunity. This campaign is about breaking those barriers—uniting allies, philanthropists, investors, and Native-led organizations to unleash our full potential in leading our own economic future.
Together, we are not just investing in projects—we are investing in people, in sovereignty, and in the enduring strength of Native communities. Join us in building a future that honors the past and shapes a more resilient tomorrow.
