We are able to provide up to $3 billion in loan guarantees to reduce the cost of capital for Indigenous Nations and groups so they can raise the capital they need to invest in natural resources, agriculture, telecommunications, transportation, tourism, healthcare, and technology projects. We drive prosperity and independence here and now, and for generations to come.
Our focus is on mid- to large-scale, commercially viable projects supported by well-defined and risk-acceptable business and financial plans, strong business models, and detailed transaction terms. The range for a loan guarantee is a minimum $20 million to a maximum $250 million for a qualified project. Unfortunately, we are unable to assist smaller projects or initiatives.
