About the company
Freedom First Federal Credit Union, registered in SAM.gov since October 2010, is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporate entity certified as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). As a credit union, Freedom First primarily focuses on providing financial services and support to underserved and economically disadvantaged communities, with a particular emphasis on Native American populations and unbanked or underbanked individuals. The organization delivers affordable financial products, services, and educational resources designed to promote economic self-determination, build credit, and increase access to mainstream financial systems.
Through multiple federal grant awards from the Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, Freedom First has consistently received Project Grants across several key programs, including the CDFI Program, Small Dollar Loan Program, and CDFI Rapid Response Program. These grants, totaling approximately $4.9 million between 2021 and 2024, have enabled the credit union to establish loan loss reserves, provide technical assistance, support small business lending initiatives, and respond to economic challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the grants have supported initiatives to create jobs, build businesses, and foster economic development in Native American and other underserved communities nationwide. The funding has been used to develop financial products, provide development services, establish capital reserves, and deliver targeted technical assistance to help unbanked and underbanked populations access affordable capital and integrate into the mainstream financial system.
