How We Support Indigenous Investment
A guaranteed loan means that someone else – a third party – assumes the debt obligation if the borrower defaults. Our goal is to reduce barriers to borrowing so that the project can get off the ground, while protecting community assets and revenue.
AIOC has a pool of discretionary funds to provide Indigenous communities with access to professional support necessary to pursue qualified investment opportunities.
AIOC aims to create economic prosperity and strengthen communities – here and now and for future generations.
Ripples Across the Province
Since 2020 AIOC has transformed the ability of Indigenous Nations and groups to participate in Alberta’s economic growth.
