FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES

NDN Collective has two main funding streams: grants and loans. Our grants and loans are intended to honor and advance the self-determination and empowerment of Indigenous Peoples.  Grants and loans may work independent of the other, or together as “braided capital” to meet the financial need. 

Grants include flexible, unrestricted and meaningful financial support. Loans include financing at various stages of project or business growth. Both strategies incorporate “power building” to strengthen the recipient of the funding.
