Partner with Us

At MNIBA, we believe that true transformation is a collaborative effort. We invite you to partner with us to amplify Indigenous voices and enhance our collective impact.

"We’re building an economy that reflects who we are."

Partnership

True transformation is never done in isolation. At MNIBA, we believe in the power of partnership to amplify Indigenous voices and deepen our collective impact.

We work with:

  • Tribal Nations and governments to co-develop economic strategies rooted in sovereignty.

  • Indigenous businesses and entrepreneurs to build thriving enterprises and cultural economies.

  • Artists and Culture Bearers

  • Foundations and funders who share our vision of equity, justice, and Indigenous-led development.

  • Educational institutions to create pipelines of leadership and skill-building for Indigenous youth.

  • Public and private sector allies seeking to make their procurement and investment practices more inclusive and equitable.

 

Together, we are creating an ecosystem of support that centers Indigenous knowledge, priorities, and power.

This work advances ecosystem-wide change by intentionally linking economic development to systems change. Rather than treating Indigenous business support as technical or transactional, MNIBA sees entrepreneurship as a site of resistance and possibility—an opportunity to reclaim agency, reshape local economies, and embed cultural values like reciprocity, consent, and stewardship into economic structures.
