What it does

The law is government-wide and reaches federal funds that tribal governments, Native organizations and tribal colleges receive, though the passage names no specific tribe or program. Grants offices should track the December end point as the next funding checkpoint for federally funded work.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Indirect. It does not name tribes, but it changes a program or rule that tribal grantees use.

Who it covers: Tribal governments, Alaska Native villages, Alaska Native corporations, Native Hawaiian organizations, Tribal colleges and universities, Tribal housing entities, Urban Indian organizations, Native nonprofits, Tribal enterprises.

What to do next

  1. Check the funding-period end dates of open federal awards against the December end of the stopgap funding.
