Many Arizona Native communities lack the nonprofit and mainstream financial institutions necessary for successful economic development – for individuals & families as well as small business development.
In response to this condition, the Arizona Native Assets Coalition has been created as a group of Arizona tribes, Native non-profit organizations, state agencies and other partner organizations working together to promote the development of asset building and financial education programs and policy for Native people at the tribal, state and federal level.
Our mission is to build healthy Native economies in Arizona by developing partnerships, providing leadership and leveraging resources to support financial education and asset building strategies.
We believe, that when armed with appropriate resources, Native peoples hold the capacity and ingenuity to ensure the sustainable economic, spiritual, and cultural well being of their communities.
