NEDC

NEDC is an Indigenous Financial Institution (IFI) providing developmental lending, business financing and support services to Indigenous entrepreneurs on Vancouver Island. NEDC plays a major role in helping First Nation communities on Vancouver Island become healthy, wealthy and socio-economically independent... NEDC was incorporated in 1984 as a not-for-profit organization with the vision of assisting the Nuu-chah-nulth to achieve socioeconomic independence through the provision of financial assistance and advisory services to individuals and Nation business initiatives. In 1997 eligibility was expanded to include all Indigenous peoples on Vancouver Island. Uniquely structured as an Indigenous Financial Institution (IFI) and a Community Futures (CF), NEDC is well positioned to provide services to a wide range of entrepreneurs and community businesses.
