The Regional Development Corporation is accepting applications for 2023 grants from its Tribal Economic Diversity Fund. The deadline to apply is August 1, 2023.  

The Tribal Economic Diversity Fund will make grant awards to companies owned by a federally recognized Indian tribe or businesses owned by an enrolled member(s) of a federally recognized Indian tribe for critical technical services that lead to increased revenues and employment for the company.  Awards are made on a competitive basis and are intended to provide services to tribal business entities that allow the company to diversify revenue, leverage other investments, create new jobs, and/or put systems in place that lead to growth. 

This year’s maximum award size is $8,000.

Eligibility requirements include:

• Business enterprises that are at least 51% owned and controlled by a tribal member or corporation of the Pueblos of Nambe, Ohkay, Picuris, Santa Clara, Pojoaque, Taos, San Ildefonso, Tesuque, Cochiti or Jemez
• Business must be headquartered in Sandoval, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, San Miguel, Mora, Rio Arriba or Taos County
