Four Directions Development Corporation
|
Nine years ago, a small but inspired group of Penobscot tribal members set out upon a path that would lead to the creation of Four Directions Development Corporation (FDDC), one of the nation’s most successful Native American Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI). Our co-founders believed that the key to creating vibrant, economically healthy Native communities in Maine was to broaden access to capital. FDDC provides, either directly, or in partnership with other Maine agencies, specially designed programs to ensure that tribal members of all four Maine tribes – the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Micmac and Maliseet – are able to access and use capital resources effectively and efficiently. Whether looking to buy a home, start a small business or for help with financial literacy and counseling, Four Directions Development Corporation advocates for our Native people and continues to create new paths to achieve economic and housing security.
