EDA ARPA Plan Programs: Indigenous Communities

Supporting Economic Development in Indigenous Communities

From EDA.Gov's Indigenous Communities Program website:

Through the Indigenous Communities program, EDA is allocating $100 million in American Rescue Plan funding specifically for Indigenous communities, which were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.

This program is designed to support the needs of Tribal Governments and Indigenous communities. EDA will support these important partners to develop and execute economic development projects that they need to recover from the pandemic and build economies for the future.

A wide range of technical, planning, workforce development, entrepreneurship, and public works and infrastructure projects are eligible for funding under this program.

Indigenous communities are also eligible and encouraged to apply under all of EDA’s other programs.

Application Submission Dates

Suggested application submission date:  March 15, 2022  Applications reviewed on a rolling basis.
