A national program from NACCA, delivered through about 30 Indigenous Financial Institutions, that helps Indigenous entrepreneurs aged 18 to 39 start or grow a business. It blends microloans with non-repayable grants, plus mentorship and one-on-one advisory support. Funding amounts vary by institution, but common packages offer up to $25,000 with up to 45 percent as a non-repayable contribution, and some providers can lend up to a further $50,000 for a total project of about $75,000 with only a 5 percent equity contribution.
