Description
The Tribal Community Vision Partnership is an innovative public-private partnership aimed at addressing the systemic underfunding and underinvestment in community development for Tribal Nations. By centering Tribal sovereignty and mobilizing catalytic program-related investments, this model will unlock the full potential of federal self-determination programs and private capital to build modern, culturally grounded community infrastructure and bolster the economic engines necessary for long-term prosperity. This session will feature multi-sector leaders sharing insights on this first-of-its-kind initiative, including how philanthropic and private funders can get involved to help Tribes create opportunities now to uplift future generations.
