Together, We Thrive
Each loan is a vote of confidence.
Each person is a relative.
Each repayment strengthens the cycle of community wealth.
Each contribution builds the pathway to economic sovereignty.
When you give to Oweesta, you invest in Native futures—rooted in culture, guided by community, and powered by equity.
Why It Matters
For generations, wealth was extracted from Native lands and peoples.
We are rewriting that story.
Every dollar invested in Oweesta helps Native people build wealth that stays home—supporting affordable housing, small business development, renewable energy, and community infrastructure.
Your gift helps us channel $500 million into Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities by 2030, strengthening the Native financial ecosystem for generations.
