Savings Program Makes Homeownership Dream a Reality
Dear <<First Name>>,
As part of our campaign for National Financial Literacy Month, we have an amazing story to share with your about a Crow Creek tribal member that made her homeownership dream a reality by working with one of our Network members, Hunkpati Investments.
Airryn Big Eagle says that before working with Hunkpati Investments, she didn’t save money and was never taught how to manage her finances, which ultimately resulted in damaged credit. “I was living paycheck to five days before my next paycheck.”

Airryn Big Eagle moves into her own home after participating in Hunkpati Investments' matched savings program.

But Airryn began working with Hunkpati to improve her credit score, pay off debt, and start saving. After a few years of hard work, she became a homeowner! Read Airryn's full story here.
Want to hear more about Airryn's story?
Airryn and Hunkpati's Executive Director, Tally Colombe, will be joining us for our webinar on "Financial Literacy Strategies in Native Communities" on April 21st. You'll get to hear first-hand how Native CDFIs are creating positive change through their financial capability programs.

And don't forget about our webinar on USDA funding opportunities!

The second webinar will be co-presented with USDA Rural Development. This timely webinar will feature Under Secretary for Rural Development, Lisa Mensah, along with USDA Rural Development Program Leadership who will share the latest information about funding available for Native CDFIs in rural communities and offer participants a chance to dialogue with USDA staff about how to best utilize the funding to advance Native economic development.
