Guilford Native American Association

Guilford Native American Association is a non-profit organization located in Greensboro, North Carolina, registered as a minority-owned, Native American and American Indian-owned business entity. The organization has been registered in SAM.gov since June 22, 2011, with its registration set to expire on May 5, 2026. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, Guilford Native American Association primarily focuses on providing employment and training services to Native American communities, specifically targeting American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians through federal grant programs.

The organization has consistently received federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Native American Employment and Training program (CFDA 17.265). These project grants, ranging from $105,552 to $156,506, support comprehensive employment and training activities designed to develop academic, occupational, and literacy skills for unemployed, underemployed, and low-income Native American individuals. The grants enable Guilford Native American Association to provide career services, follow-up counseling, and training programs that focus on occupational development, upward mobility, and entrepreneurial skills. Each grant cycle typically spans three years, with specific performance outcomes including employment rates in subsequent quarters after program exit, median earnings, credential attainment, skill gains, and service to employers. The organization's primary goal is to enhance the workforce competitiveness of Native American individuals and promote economic and social development within their communities, aligning with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) objectives.
