The Tribal Nation Grant Fund (TNGF) is a fund of tribal dollars created through many of the California tribal-state compacts for the purposes of effective self-governance, self-determined community, and economic development. In September 2018, Governor Jerry Brown signed AB-880 Tribal Nation Grant Fund.
The bill also established, within state government, the Tribal Nation Grant Fund Panel and the Tribal Nation Grant Fund Program, through which the panel may award grants and make other distributions from the fund to eligible tribes, as defined, with the assistance of the Tribal Advisor, the Bureau of Gambling Control, and the California Gambling Control Commission, as specified.
Only non-gaming and limited gaming tribes (350 or fewer Vegas-style machines) in California are eligible for these funds. Eligible tribes can apply for more than one grant, and more than one eligible tribe can apply jointly, but the funds cannot be used for gaming or per capita payments.
Eligible purposes or projects may include, but are not limited to, development of curricula in a tribal language or culture, housing, support for compliance with the federal Indian Child Welfare Act, vocational training, community development, investments in tribal schools and colleges, support of tribal government institutions and tribal courts, non-gaming economic diversification, or investment in public health, information technology, renewable energy, water conservation, cultural preservation or awareness, educational programs, or scholarships.
The Panel of tribal leaders, with the assistance of the Governor’s Tribal Advisor, is responsible for awarding grants and other distributions from the fund to eligible tribes and for creating the policies for the administration of the TNGF program.
