  5. Overview of Presentation • Background on the Native Asset Building Assessment Initiative • Why it is needed • Why the Northwest Area Foundation is supporting it • Feedback from Webinar Attendees

  6. Background on the Native Asset Building Assessment • Native CDFIs and others are implementing asset-building strategies: • youth and adult matched savings accounts • financial education and coaching • access to capital • training and technical assistance for Native American entrepreneurs.

  7. Background on the Native Asset Building Assessment • Assessment is designed to: • learn more about these efforts, • spotlight best practices, • map the programs, and • develop a shared framework. • An outcome will be a widely disseminated white paper for the assets field, Native and non-Native.

  8. Why it is needed • Little discussion exists about: • the best way to promote unique asset-building approaches in Native communities; • the need for a framework for these approaches to Native asset-building; and • successful implementation strategies.

  9. Why it is needed • To assist with strategic planning, making the policy case, and fundraising for Native asset building. • To promote awareness of best practices in Native asset building to help other programs start and expand. • To map out existing Native asset-building programs to help Native and non-Native programs collaborate and network more effectively.

  10. Why the Northwest Area Foundation is supporting it • The NWAF has made a commitment that 40% of annual grant dollars are dedicated to Native-led organizations in its eight-state region. • Region: Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and 75 Native Nations. • This builds on decades of NWAF investment in Native economic prosperity and poverty alleviation. • This will help the NWAF understand the opportunities, gaps, and how to positively influence asset building in the region.
