How does the NLC benefit the Tribal and Native Communities?
The NLC provides culturally focused courses and training for all different kinds of learners designed specifically to benefit Native communities. With an emphasis on providing outreach to all Indigenous people, our “Train the Trainer” programs are a priority, wherein tribal members will be trained to teach in their own communities thus expanding their tribe’s capabilities and teaching self-sufficiency.
What are the financial courses about?
The Financial Wellness courses at NLC cover a variety of timely and important subjects, including; basic budgeting, banking procedures, loan qualification and credit - all going above and beyond what is currently being offered to Native communities and individuals. Classes focusing on small business education, economic development, and housing strategies are also offered. Please visit our Register Now page for more information.
How do we get more information on Grants?
The Grants section of our website has a self-guided section containing lots of information on grants and grant resources. The NLC knows that the entire grant process can be confusing and complicated, so we also have a Grants Hotline you can call to speak to a real person who can help answer your questions on grants. Call the NLC’s resident Grants Administrator, at 1-866-973-2760. If he does not have the answer to your question on the tip of his tongue, he will research it and get back to you.
