The Community of Practice (CoP) is an EDA-funded group that brings together tribal economic development practitioners to learn from each other and build capacity to plan for, apply and secure funding for, and implement economic development projects.

What would you like to see discussed in the CoP? Who would you like to work with and learn from? How would you like the CoP to change in the future?

Who is Involved?

Resource Group

Community Participants

Professionals, academics, agency staff members and others who provide technical support and other resources to tribal and Native economic development professionals but who are not themselves current or potential EDA grantees.

Current EDA Indigenous Communities grantees, current and prior recipients of EDA grants in tribal communities, and tribal programs and enterprises supporting economic development can serve as community members.


Events and Activities

The CoP will convene regular networking sessions, coordinate training and technical assistance opportunities, and develop and share best practices and other economic development resources.
