HELENA – Gov.
Steve Bullock recently awarded $320,000 in funding to support the growth of
25 Native American-owned businesses across Montana through
the Indian Equity Fund Small Business Grant program.
Each business will
receive between $7,000 and $14,000 to help with costs related to land
purchases, building, equipment, assets, technology, operational costs and
working capital.
The Indian Equity Fund builds partnerships with tribal governments by investing in Native American entrepreneurship and small businesses and encouraging economic development in tribal nations for the benefit of tribal communities and members.
