What it is
Certified Native community lenders (Native CDFIs) and groups that want to start one. It is for those organizations, not for people looking for a personal loan.
How to apply
A lender must be a certified CDFI and serve Native communities to apply for awards. The office posts dates for each application round. If you are a person or business that needs a loan, use the CDFI Fund tools to find a CDFI that serves your area. Rules and dates change, so check with the office.
