ONABEN receives $25,000 grant
The Oregon Native Ameri
can Business Entrepreneur Net
work (ONABEN) has received
$25,000 from the First Nations
Development Institute through
its Native Nonprofit Capacity
Building Initiative (NNCB).
Designed to help nonprofit
organizations improve their ca
pacity to serve their Native
American clients, the NNCB
grant money enables ONABEN
to complete important elements
of its Curriculum Renewal
Project.
The Curriculum Renewal
Project has been an ambitious
undertaking to create and pub
lish culturally relevant training
manuals for ONABEN's Native
American small business entre
preneurs. The new curriculum
is story-based, presenting real
examples of Native American
entrepreneurial success.
"Our students will be able to
identify with the lives and sto
ries in our curriculum as well as
be encouraged and inspired to
follow their own small business
dreams," ONABEN executive
director Tom Hampson said.
The Native American expe
rience is so unique that
ONABEN has termed the con
ceptwith its own name,
'Indianpreneurship,' a concept
that is the focus of the new cur
riculum with the first manual
titled, "Indianpreneurship: A
Native American Journey Into
Business."
Research shows that cultur
ally appropriate strategies in
small business development are
essential to the success of Na
tive American microenterprise,
and according to the Aspen In
stitute, "training and technical
assistance are arguably the most
important components of small
business development services."
Recognizing the importance
of adapting training to the needs
of the students, Mike Roberts,
vice president of the First Na
tions Development Institute,
said, "ONABEN's Curriculum
Renewal Project will not only be
highly beneficial for its aspiring
Native American entrepreneurs,
but will set the standard for in
novative learning tools in Na
tive American enterprise."
Additionally, the NNCB
funds will assist ONABEN in
two more projects: completing
an advanced business manage
ment course for current business
owners, including alumni of its
core business start-up training
classes; and refining its agency
wide needs assessment and sys
tems evaluation.
ONABEN, a Native Ameri
can business network, was
founded in 1991 as a non-profit
organization by four Oregon
tribes.
