Case Study: Indian Health Board expands access to culturally responsive care with Sunrise Banks financing

Indian Health Board: Creating Healthier Outcomes for Urban Indigenous Communities

The Indian Health Board (IHB), a nonprofit working to provide quality healthcare and eliminate barriers for urban Indigenous communities in Minneapolis, faced the challenge of operating out of three separate buildings. To centralize its services and create a new place of healing, IHB required funding for a major construction project. They turned to their trusted financial partner, Sunrise Banks, for a solution.

Sunrise Banks provided a $10 million New Markets Tax Credit allocation to fund the construction of the new Menaandawiwe Wellness Campus. This solution allows IHB to bring its medical, dental, and community services into one centralized location, making comprehensive and culturally responsive care more accessible. The project, which is on track for completion in fall 2026, is a major statement about the importance of healthcare for the urban Indigenous community and will forever change the Minneapolis landscape.
