Our Programs
MNIBA offers a wide range of programs designed to support Indigenous businesses, entrepreneurs, Tribal governments, and culture bearers. Our programs are grounded in the values of sovereignty, equity, and sustainability—and guided by our belief that Indigenous communities are best equipped to shape their own futures.
01
Business Development & Technical Assistance
We provide culturally aligned technical assistance, mentorship, and strategic planning to Indigenous entrepreneurs and business owners.
Whether starting a new venture or scaling an existing enterprise, we offer hands-on support to help navigate financial, legal, and operational challenges.​
​​
02
Tribal Economic Sovereignty Support
We partner with Tribal Nations to help develop diversified, tribally driven economies. Our work includes policy advocacy, infrastructure planning, and capacity building that supports long-term self-determination and economic resilience.​
03
Cultural Economy & Artist Support
​Culture is an economy. We support Indigenous artists, tradition bearers, and cultural producers with resources, networking opportunities, and platforms to grow creative businesses while preserving heritage and traditional knowledge.
​
Market Access & Procurement​
​
We help Indigenous businesses access broader markets through procurement training, matchmaking events, and connections to buyers committed to equitable sourcing. We advocate for Tribal inclusion in local and regional supply chains.
04
Leadership & Workforce Development
MNIBA invests in the next generation of Indigenous leaders by offering programs in leadership training, financial literacy, and workforce readiness. These initiatives build confidence and skills among young changemakers, future entrepreneurs, and community organizers.
