The 2023–2024 Annual Report from the NACCA

The 2023–2024 Annual Report from the National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association (NACCA) is now available, highlighting another year of growth, impact, and resilience. This report captures the collective efforts of 50+ Indigenous Financial Institutions (IFIs) from coast to coast to coast.

Together, these IFIs issued more than a thousand loans, representing millions of dollars in support of Indigenous-owned businesses. The annual report offers valuable data and program updates, while also reflecting on the real-world impact of Indigenous entrepreneurship.  This is where businesses are built, jobs are created, and communities are strengthened.

From the frontlines of economic reconciliation and Indigenous self-determination, NACCA’s 2023–2024 report is a testament to the power of Indigenous-led finance and the achievements of the IFI national network.
