Wells Fargo commits to enhancing the prosperity and equity of Native American communities through a $20 million philanthropic initiative, focusing on Housing Access and Affordability, Small Business Growth, Financial Health, and Sustainability & Climate Resilience across six states.
The Invest Native grant program is structured around four key pillars: Small Business Growth, Sustainability & Climate Resiliency, Financial Health, and Housing Affordability & Access. These pillars guide the initiative's funding priorities, which include accelerating growth opportunities for small businesses, promoting an equity-focused transition to a low-carbon economy, investing in solutions to address systemic inequities and advance wealth creation among marginalized communities, and increasing access to affordable housing. The program's broad goals are to enhance economic opportunities in Native American communities through systemic support in vital areas for a more sustainable and financially healthy future.
