Thank you for an incredible 11th Annual Native CDFI Capital Access Convening (CAC)!
This year’s CAC was filled with powerful insights, meaningful conversations, and opportunities to connect, learn, and grow together. We are deeply grateful to have gathered in community with changemakers from across Indian Country—leaders who are strengthening Native economies, advancing opportunity, building Native wealth, and creating lasting impact in their communities.
Over the past several days, we shared knowledge, celebrated achievements, explored new ideas, and strengthened relationships that will continue to move our work forward. Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, partners, and attendees for making this year’s convening such a meaningful and inspiring experience. We look forward to carrying this momentum forward and continuing to build a stronger future together.

About CAC
Held each year, 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.
Over the years, the annual Native CDFI Capital Access Convening is the premier event for the Native CDFI movement. 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.
