Native American Community Development

The Native American Community Development Institute (NACDI) is an American Indian community development intermediary - the first of its kind in the region - created by and for American Indians. NACDI is committed to transforming the American Indian community to effectively respond to 21st century opportunities. NACDI, working from the premise that deficit and poverty-based strategies must be replaced with comprehensive asset-centered strategies, focuses on promoting innovative ideas and cross-sector partnerships that embrace technology, entrepreneurship, and community development. Our mission is to partner with American Indian communities to build and execute 21st century community development strategies.
