This article from Stanford Social Innovation Review offers a deep dive into community-driven outcomes contracts — an outcomes finance approach pioneered by Raven Outcomes that puts capital and decision-making power directly in the hands of Indigenous communities. By examining projects like the Minoayawin CDOC — a community-led response to the diabetes crisis in the Island Lake region of northeastern Manitoba — and the Fisher River Cree Nation and Peguis First Nation CDOCs, which have delivered energy-efficient home retrofits and skills training, the article highlights how this model is creating more equitable, effective and lasting change.
