The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending program (CFDA 17.289) to New Mexico Community Capital (NMCC), a minority-owned, woman-owned, Native American-owned non-profit organization. The grant, awarded on February 1, 2024, will enable NMCC to deliver digital media and marketing training to at least 100 Native-owned businesses, facilitate access to the IndigiExchange e-commerce platform, and plan for an IndigiWork online job portal. This effort aligns with the program's objectives to fund employment, labor, and workforce training initiatives that support underserved populations. Previously, NMCC was also awarded a $1,391,374.60 Project Grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration in April 2021 to implement a similar three-tier entrepreneurial support strategy for Native American-owned enterprises.
