SBA Awards Grants to 7 Native American Small Businesses

The U.S. Small Business Administration will award seven Native American small businesses with $100,000 grants each to support business development and long-term survivability as part of the agency’s 7(j) Management and Technical Assistance Program.

The Native American Micro Enterprise Business Services grants will work to address small business challenges and help the awardees collaborate with other businesses, understand federal business processes and revitalize the small business sector, SBA said Monday.

“We’re excited to be able to help fund these organizations to engage with Native American entrepreneurs across the county and strengthen the SBA’s support network to provide more boots on the ground in local communities,” said David Sanborn, assistant administrator for SBA’s office of Native American affairs.
