Keeping capital flowing into their communities also requires a voice in the policy decisions that shape federal funding and bank investment.<br \/>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/2352819\/episodes\/20034444\">new episode<\/a> of <em>Difference Makers 3.0<\/em>, Native CDFI Network CEO Pete Upton and policy consultant Ian Record join host Brian Edwards to review NCN\u2019s third-quarter advocacy and discuss priorities heading into 2027.<br \/>Record describes efforts to get federal funding to Native lenders, oppose proposed changes to the Community Reinvestment Act and respond to proposed federal grant rules. He also outlines a push to make a Native CDFI home lending pilot permanent and available nationwide.<br \/>With midterm elections approaching, Upton emphasizes work that continues through political transitions: educating policymakers, building relationships and documenting the homes, businesses and jobs Native CDFIs support. Both discuss how collaboration can strengthen that message.<br \/>Here are highlights from the conversation:<br \/>\u201cSo our work is not Republican. It&#8217;s not Democrat. Our work is Native to speak for our Native communities.\u201d<br \/>\u201cBut all the money did get out the door.\u201d<br \/>\u201cSo we know that CRA does bring benefit to Indian country, and we&#8217;re concerned that this proposed rule will decrease that benefit.\u201d<br \/>\u201cThey come and go, the only consistent is us in Indian country. So our job&#8217;s going to remain solid long after everyone else is gone.\u201d<br \/>\u201cWe have to document our impact.\u201d<br \/>\u201cGive us some advanced warning so that we can be proactive.\u201d<br \/>\u201cNCN&#8217;s collective advocacy is strengthened when Native CDFIs participate, and they share their experience.\u201d<br \/><em>Visit<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/2352819\/episodes\"><em><\/em><em>Difference Makers 3.0<\/em><\/a> <em>to listen to the<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/2352819\/episodes\/20034444\"><em>new episode<\/em><\/a> <em>and subscribe on your favorite podcast platform.<\/em><br \/><strong>Never miss the biggest stories and breaking news about the tribal economy.<\/strong> Sign up to get our reporting sent straight to your inbox every Monday morning.<br \/> \t\t\t\tTo reach the newsroom or submit news, email editor@tribalbusinessnews.com.
