Synopsis

NTIA is soliciting applications for the Native Entities Grant Program (“Program”), authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, Division F, Title III, Public Law 117-58, 135 Stat. 429, 1209 (November 15, 2021) (codified at 47 U.S.C. §1701, 1721, et seq.) (the “Digital Equity Act of 2021” or “Act”). The Act authorizes two programs that set aside funds for Indian Tribes, Alaska Native entities, and Native Hawaiian organizations (collectively “Native Entities”): the “State Digital Equity Capacity Grant Program” and the “Digital Equity Competitive Grant Program.” To reduce administrative burden and cost, NTIA is releasing the funds for both programs through a single application process.

Who can apply

The following entities are eligible to receive grants under the Native Entities Grant Program: 1. An Indian Tribe, an Alaska Native entity, or a Native Hawaiian organization (“Native Entity”); or 2. A partnership between Eligible Entities (“Consortium”). See Section III of this NOFO for additional information concerning the eligibility requirements for this program.
