1) Investing in Renewable Energy Ownership

Many clean energy projects are developed for Native communities but not by Native communities. We are shifting that model by financing:

  • Tribal-owned solar farms that generate long-term revenue for Native nations.
  • Battery storage and microgrids that keep energy dollars circulating in Native economies.
  • Residential solar financing so that Native families can own their energy, reduce costs, and build equity.

Instead of sending energy revenue to outside corporations, our investments ensure that the economic benefits of clean energy stay in the communities where they are needed most.

2) Supporting Native Entrepreneurs and Businesses

Business ownership is one of the most powerful ways to build generational wealth, but access to capital has been a major barrier for Native entrepreneurs. TICC is addressing this by:

  • Providing low-interest loans to new and developing companies, construction firms, and infrastructure developers working with native communities.
  • Financing large-scale clean energy projects that hire and contract Indigenous-owned businesses.
  • Supporting Native-led supply chains for solar manufacturing and installation, creating opportunities at every level of the clean energy economy.

When we invest in Native-owned businesses, we create jobs, build local economies, and empower families to pass down assets for generations.

3) Strengthening Financial Infrastructure for Future Generations

Access to capital is one of the biggest barriers to economic growth in underserved communities. That’s why TICC is not just a lender—we are also a force for strengthening Native financial institutions. By supporting other Native CDFIs, we ensure that:

  • More Native communities have access to business loans, homeownership programs, and investment capital.
  • Tribal governments and Native entrepreneurs can secure funding for large-scale economic development projects.
  • The clean energy economy becomes a source of intergenerational financial empowerment, not just a short-term investment opportunity.

This means that future generations will not have to rely on outside institutions for financing—they will have Indigenous-led, community-owned financial systems that put their interests first.

Join us in building a future where Native and underserved communities don’t just survive—they thrive.
