Native Hawaiian Revolving Loan Fund

Congress established the revolving loan fund on November 29, 1987 in amendments (Public Law 100 175) to the Native American Programs Act of 1974 (P.L. 93 644). The purpose is to provide funding not available from other sources on reasonable terms and conditions to:

  • Promote economic activities which result in expanded opportunities for Native Hawaiians to increase their ownership of, employment in, or income from local economic enterprise;
  • Assist Native Hawaiians to overcome specific gaps in local capital markets and to encourage greater private-sector participation in local economic development activities; and
  • Increase capital formation and private-sector jobs for Native Hawaiians.

The State of Hawaii’s Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) serves as the Fund’s loan administrator and receives oversight through the Administration for Native Americans. OHA’s 2021 Annual Report  (PDF) is available for viewing.
