FY 2026 BIA Tribal Tourism Grant Program (TTGP)
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), through its Office of Indian Economic Development (OIED), is offering competitive grants to support existing Tribal tourism operations. The program's core purpose is to increase visitors to Tribal destinations by facilitating, promoting, and enhancing tourism visibility and access. Importantly, the program explicitly prohibits funding for creating new tourism operations or any construction/construction-related activities.
“This toolkit shares the findings of NCAI’s “Building Tribal Economies” research and outreach initiative, which works to train the focus of Tribal Nations on the strategic, foundational considerations involved with building integrated and resilient tribal economies capable of supporting their communities and citizens today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.”
