Community facilities - native american tribes

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $352,000 Project Grant under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) to Aaniiih Nakoda College, a tribal college located in Harlem, Montana. The funding will support the construction, enlargement, extension, or other improvement of community facilities that provide essential services to rural residents within the Fort Belknap Indian Community. As a 1994 Land Grant institution, minority-serving organization, and non-profit educational entity, Aaniiih Nakoda College will leverage this grant to advance its mission of providing higher education opportunities to Indigenous students while preserving cultural heritage. The college has a history of securing federal grants to deliver a range of services, including STEM education programs, research initiatives, community outreach, and infrastructure development projects that benefit the local Native American population.
