NCAI will host an live, free webinar on the Department of Treasury's Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) funding in the Recovery Act. Tribes who have CDFI programs and those tribes that are interested in starting a CDFI program should participate. 


The CDFI Fund will be re-opening its 2009 CDFI Program and Native American CDFI Assistance (NACA) Program to enable additional applicants to apply. CDFI will also be offering current applicants the opportunity to request larger awards. 


Applicants that applied under the initial FY 2009 award rounds will have the opportunity to increase the amounts they requested to as much as $2 million under the CDFI Program and $750,000 under the NACA Program.


Further, the Recovery Act included a waiver of the program's matching funds requirement.
