MEMBERSHIP AND DONATION INFORMATION
The Oklahoma Native Assets Coalition (ONAC) is a nonprofit Native asset building coalition that works with
tribes and partners interested in establishing asset-building initiatives and programs in Native communities,
for the purpose of creating greater opportunities for economic self-sufficiency of tribal citizens.
ONAC members might engage in any of the following asset-building efforts: financial education programs,
Individual Development Account programs, Children’s Savings Account programs, entrepreneurship
activities, homeownership assistance programs, credit repair and credit building programs, Volunteer
Income Tax Assistance (VITA) outreach, foreclosure prevention programs, microenterprise development
programs, family emergency savings accounts, and other communal asset-building activities, etc.
Such members might also be seeking funding for asset-building projects; evaluating asset-building
programs; drafting case studies highlighting best practices and lessons learned; addressing asset-building
policies with tribal leaders, Native non-profits, and at local, state, and national levels; and engaging in peer
learning and sharing.
