Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

TO REVOLUTIONIZE SYSTEMS AND INSPIRE INNOVATION BY INVESTING IN NATIVE WOMEN IN BUSINESS. WE DO THIS BY CO-CREATING WITH AND CONVENING OUR COMMUNITY TO BUILD COALITION WHILE HONORING OUR CULTURE, CREATIVITY AND CONNECTIONS.

  • Community Convening & Learning Native Women Lead provides in-person and virtual programming and events for Native Women Entrepreneurs through our Native Women's Business Summit, Business Retreats and Capital Summits. We also provide hybrid options for convening and virtual programming to make all of our offerings to the community accessible to all Native women wherever they may be located. We convene our community to provide workshops, listening sessions, training and self care activities that focus on providing support, restoration, resources and a network for Native Women business owners.

    Expenses $402,750

  • Facilitating Access to Capital Native Women Lead currently has two (2) gender lens focused relationship-based lending programs to support Indigenous women-led businesses in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah. Our Matriarch Funds provide access to equitable, patient capital while providing wrap-around technical assistance and support through coaching, mentorship, shared resources, community convenings and opportunities to earn 50% loan forgiveness. Our Matriarch Creative Fund currently serves 21 borrowers with loans ranging from $4,000-$9,000. Our Matriarch Restorative fund currently serves 7 borrowers with loans ranging from $15,000-$50,000.

    Expenses $163,488

  • STORY TELLING COMMUNICATIONS - native women lead uplifts our community through story telling by sharing the history, lived experiences and truths of our people. It is important to share the impact of the work we are doing with and in our communities. We do this through a gender lens focus by demonstrating the importance of the many roles that Native women hold as the caretakers, breadwinners, entrepreneurs and leaders of our families and communities. In our efforts to advocate and continue to fundraise for our communities and our work, we are telling our own stories and reclaiming our narrative by focusing on the benefits of not only supporting native women, but the rippling benefits to their families and the communities they are from.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
