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.
Sponsor the NCDFI Capital Access Convening
As our largest national gathering, the Capital Access Convening consistently offers inspiring plenaries, various training sessions, and valuable networking opportunities. Sponsoring the CAC provides a unique opportunity to engage with grassroots Native CDFI leaders, join strategic discussions on financial inclusion, and showcase your leadership and commitment to economic justice. Supporting the Capital Access Convening is one of the most impactful ways to advance Indigenous economic justice.
