About NAFOA
Growing Tribal Economies. Strengthening Tribal Finance.
Founded over 40 years ago as the Native American Finance Officers Association, NAFOA began as a gathering of Tribal financial professionals focused on developing the policies and procedures necessary for Tribal success. Since then, our mission has expanded to spotlight the vital role of Tribal finance in fostering economic opportunity and to support growing Tribal economies through sound economic and fiscal policy, innovative training programs, and forward-thinking leadership.
What We Do
We build the skills of the next generation of Tribal financial professionals and convene Tribal leaders, experts, and partners to tackle the challenges of economic growth and change. Through strategic advocacy, resource development, and collaboration, NAFOA empowers Tribes to strengthen governance and exercise their sovereignty .
