Tecumseh Community Development Corporation (TCDC) was formed in 1993 with the amalgamation of ARISE
(Association of Reserves for Improving Social Economics) and Seven Bands Business Incentive Organization (SBBIO).

Established in 1974, ARISE was one of the first groups formed that have become known as Aboriginal Capital Corporations (ACC).

SBBIO was established in 1988 as a business development centre under the federal Community Futures Program.

TCDC serves the on-reserve population of its 10 member First Nations and the Indian population of southwestern Ontario, including the Bruce Peninsula, in the service area.
