Lending & Capitalization

Oweesta Corporation understands how crucial investment capital is to a Native community development financial institution; therefore investing in the communities we serve is a priority. We make every effort to provide loans to qualifying organizations, enabling them to reinvest the capital back into their communities or to use as leverage to attract other capital.
