SUMMARY:Indigenous Economic Development Community of Practice Webinar: Accessing the Resources and Capital to Support Economic Development - Part 1 (Virtual Training Session)
DESCRIPTION:February 26 at 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Central\nRegister \nBrief Description: As Tribal Nations and Native communities seek to develop a strong foundation for economic development activities and strategies\, they must also identify the array of available sources of funding\, financing and/or customers/clients that will support the enterprises and projects that will ultimately implement portions of these strategies. The second section of this track will provide a non-exhaustive list of funding sources and the eligible uses and combinations of these sources as well as provide training on how to advance economic development through external borrowing/financing of activities (as opposed to purely grant-funded approaches) and the use of federal contracting to grow Tribal enterprises and 8(a) businesses. \nPart 1: \n\n\nEconomic Development Resources and Funding Sources (local\, state\, federal\, Tribal\, and philanthropic grants and loans); Grant Application Best Practices
