The organization evolved from a loan fund program of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The program was managed by the business development department. A decision was made to take this loan fund program through a rigorous reorganization process and establish an independent Native CDFI that could receive CDFI certification from the US Treasury. The Sequoyah Fund obtained this certification in 2005. Loan products include small business start-up loans, business expansion loans, and loans for façade renovation in the Cherokee Central Business District. Sequoya Fund 810 Acquoni Rd.
