Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, for-profit organizations, tribal organizations, small businesses, tribal governments, and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits. Services will be delivered nationally, with particular emphasis on supporting remote locations and underserved communities throughout the United States and its territories.
