Vincent J. Grant serves as the Programs Officer at Oweesta Corporation, where he brings a strong commitment to advancing financial education within Native communities. A proud member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota, Vincent has cultivated deep expertise in supporting tribal governments and Native-focused non-profit organizations. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Leadership and Management from Turtle Mountain Community College.

Growing up on his tribal (ancestral) lands, Vincent found his calling in leadership and advocacy early on. His journey began with an internship at Turtle Mountain CDFI, which sparked a lifelong commitment to empowering Native communities through economic development. As a trailblazer, Vincent became the first Chairperson of his tribal Youth Council, where he honed his skills in community building and governance.

Specializing in financial literacy and asset-building initiatives, Vincent has earned the title of Master Trainer in several key programs: Building Native Communities: Financial Skills for Families, Financial Empowerment for Teens and Young Adults, and Financial Confidence for Elders. His work is driven by the belief that financial empowerment is a critical tool for sustaining sovereignty and fostering resilience in Native communities.

Outside of his professional role, Vincent is passionate about advocating for Two-Spirit (Indigenous LGBTQIA+) rights and visibility, while also cherishing time with his family. His vision is grounded in a deep respect for tradition, while continually striving to uplift and empower future generations.
