Tribal Finance Pilot

2022-2023 Pilot

We’re looking for four Native nations to join our 2022-2023 Tribal Finance pilot. Learn about whether our 2022-2023 pilot is right for your nation and how to apply.

 

Special thanks to the Bush Foundation for providing funding to cover the costs of the assessments, convenings, and participant support. All costs for lodging, meals, and supplies related to the convenings will be covered for program participants.
