National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development

Since 1969, The National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development has been a driving force for the advancement of Indigenous entrepreneurs and businesses. Through training, programming, and subject-matter expertise, The National Center has become the preeminent non-profit in the United States focused on the American Indian, Alaska Native,  and Native Hawaiian economies.
