The Lakota Funds is a community development financial institution (CDFI) leading an economic resurgence of the Oglala Lakota Oyate on the Pine Ridge Reservation through culturally appropriate strategies reigniting the traditional Lakota spirit of productivity, commerce, and trade. The Enhanced Access to Capital project focuses on expanding access to capital, supporting both new and existing farmers and ranchers with low-interest loans and equity grants. The project will also offer specialized training to ensure long-term viability and growth of their agricultural operations. The grant will serve Tribal members on the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reservations.
