Applications Now Closed

St. Paul, MN |May 17 – 19, 2022

The Native American Agriculture Fund (NAAF) is pleased to announce that it is now accepting applications for the 2022 Native Ag Underwriting School. A joint effort between NAAF, Center for Farm Financial Management, Native CDFI Network, and Intertribal Agriculture Council the School will take place May 17-19 in St. Paul, MN.

Because the central issues in the litigation that led to NAAF’s creation involved access to capital, NAAF and its partners are committed to increasing the capacity for agriculture lending in Indian Country. This three-day training will provide existing and future lenders in Indian Country the tools they need to start or expand their agricultural lending programs. Native CDFI professionals seeking to grow their knowledge of agricultural lending will especially benefit from this training. Current college students and recent college graduates interested in a career in agriculture lending in Native communities are also encouraged to apply.

Applications will be evaluated on experience working with Native farmers and ranchers, interest in advancing the field of agricultural lending in rural and Tribal communities, and commitment to serving Native farmers and ranchers.

• • Fully Funded: airfare, hotel, and meals sponsored by NAAF.
  • 40 spots available.
  • No agriculture experience is needed.
  • All levels of finance experience are welcome!
