The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes received a $112,918 Project Grant from the Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices under the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) Technical Assistance Grant Program (CFDA 21.031) on July 30, 2025. The grant funds the delivery of technical assistance services to qualifying very small businesses and socially and economically disadvantaged individual-owned business enterprises located on the Fort Hall Reservation in Idaho. Services include legal, accounting, and financial advisory assistance to help eligible small businesses prepare and submit applications for SSBCI Capital Program funding or other federal and jurisdictional small business support initiatives.

This one-time, time-limited initiative authorized under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 represents formula-based funding allocated to tribal governments and other eligible jurisdictions that previously submitted complete applications for the SSBCI Capital Program. The Tribes will serve as the direct service provider or administrative agent responsible for ensuring beneficiaries receive qualified technical assistance necessary to access available small business credit and development resources.
