Planning & Grants Department
We believe in a self-sufficient tribal government that can provide the ways, means, and oversight to support tribal programs and national initiatives for the prosperity of the Nation and its citizens. Through collaboration with national leadership and project stakeholders, we develop innovative solutions to meet grant funding expectations and provide planning support for national project priorities.
