The Caddo Nation Economic Development Authority received a $125,240 Project Grant award on June 27, 2025, from the Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices under the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) Technical Assistance Grant Program (CFDA 21.031). The organization will provide technical assistance services to qualifying very small businesses and socially and economically disadvantaged individual-owned enterprises seeking to apply for SSBCI Capital Program funding or other federal and jurisdictional small business support initiatives. These technical assistance services include legal, accounting, and financial advisory services designed to strengthen small business applications and increase access to capital.

As a federally recognized tribal government entity, the Caddo Nation Economic Development Authority serves as the primary recipient and will either directly deliver these advisory services or contract with qualified legal, accounting, and financial advisory firms to support eligible beneficiaries within the Caddo Nation community. This award represents participation in a one-time SSBCI initiative funded under Section 3301 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, with the grant period and performance obligations governed by the terms and conditions of the grant agreement issued by Treasury's Office of Capital Access.
