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. CLICK HERE

There are two ways to join the conversation. The first is audio-only by
call-in; the second incorporates both audio and web presentation by
calling in and logging on.

listening to the audio just as any other teleconference. To join the
audio portion of this meeting, please dial (866) 379-3045 and reference
conference ID 91700910. The call will be operator-assisted, meaning that
someone will take your name and affiliation when you call in and the

Question & Answer period.   

WEB MEETING: The second way is to also join the web portion of the
meeting. First, please join the audio portion of the meeting. Next,
follow the instructions below to log on. This will allow you to be on
the phone listening to the presentation at the same time you see the
presentation on your computer. If you join the web portion of this
meeting, you will be able to type in your questions. You will still need

meeting, please follow these steps:
