The Chehalis Tribal Loan Fund
The Chehalis Tribal Loan Fund was founded by the Chehalis Tribe in 2007, and in 2015 the U.S. Treasury department certified CTLF as a Native Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI).
The Chehalis Tribal Loan Fund (CTLF) is located in Oakville, just steps away from the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation in South Sound Washington State. Our mission is to serve Chehalis Tribal members and the surrounding community by expanding access to education, training, and financial resources. Through financial education, homebuyer preparation, and support for entrepreneurs, we help individuals build financial stability that grows into long-term prosperity—and ultimately, generational prosperity.
Brick by Brick, Paving the way to Financial Empowerment through
Education, Coaching, and Fair Lending.
This is good for the people and good for the whole community.

How native CDFIs Strengthen Tribal Communities
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI’s) share a common goal of expanding economic opportunity by providing access to financial products and services for local residents and businesses.
Native CDFI’s focus on helping Native Communities thrive and grow by increasing their access to credit, capital, and financial services. They are engines of opportunity, offering accessible funding for resourceful and resilient communities in Indian Country. They weave partners, funding, and networks together to create lasting prosperity and opportunities shared by all.
The majority of Native communities, 86 percent, lack a single financial institution within their borders to access affordable financial products and services.
