The Digital Equity Act of 2021 set aside two funding streams specifically for Native communities, and NTIA runs both through one application process to cut the paperwork in half.

Eligibility is a closed list: an Indian Tribe, an Alaska Native entity, or a Native Hawaiian organisation, or a partnership between those entities. Nothing outside that list — no ordinary nonprofit, university or company…

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
