Apply for a TEDC Grant

Everything you need to know about applying for a TEDC grant

Each year, our Division of Energy and Mineral Development, through its Tribal Energy Development Capacity (TEDC) program grants, offers Tribes financial support to establish their energy business or enhance the energy capacity of their business. 

Annually, we plan to award 15-45 grants, ranging in value from $10,000 (minimum ask) to $450,000 (maximum ask). We will only fund projects for one year at a time.
