The Native CDFI Network invites Native CDFIs, Tribal Nations, and Indian Country partners to join a national sign-on letter urging Congress to include $35 million for the CDFI Fund’s Native American CDFI Assistance (NACA) Program in the final FY 2026 Financial Services & General Government appropriations package. This request reflects the considerable unmet capital needs facing Native CDFIs, the strong economic return on investment these institutions generate, and the rapid growth of the Native CDFI industry nationwide.
While the Senate’s FY 2026 FSGG bill proposes only $28 million for NACA, the House-passed level of $35 million better aligns with industry needs. By signing on, your organization helps reinforce a unified message to Congressional leadership that this funding level is essential to meeting demand and strengthening Native economic development.
Please add your organization’s information below to be included in the joint letter.
