Project Highlights | National

This project will be conducted as part of the Wisconsin Native Loan Fund’s broader statewide effort to strengthen Native homeownership, small business development, and traditional arts economies. The market study will combine new, community-informed data collection with a stakeholder-driven process engaging tribal members, Native entrepreneurs and artists, Native CDFIs, and partner organizations in Wisconsin. The findings will highlight shared opportunities and support more responsive, culturally grounded loan programs and financial education curriculum statewide.

This project aimed to collect data from Native veterans representing all nine tribes in the state of South Dakota to better identify the barriers to housing and services faced by veterans across the state. In doing so, programs and funding avenues could be intentionally tailored to meet the specific and unique needs of each community.

Native Action Network is conducting the Native Women’s Leadership survey to collect qualitative and quantitative information from Native women throughout Washington state interested in all forms of leadership. These include all levels of government, business, nonprofits, activism, and community leadership. Native Action Network will use this information to strengthen and develop its programs supporting Native women’s leadership, to identify opportunities and barriers, to facilitate mentorship and partnership opportunities, and to build a sisterhood of Native woman leaders in the state of Washington.
