The United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Agency has awarded a $64,188 Rural Business Development Grant to Strengthen ND<\/a>. They will use the grant to fund projects for North Dakota’s 5 Native Nations, and tribal members. This funding will help to build a strong and sustainable economy for communities both on and off the reservation, by building and growing businesses, and expanding tribal capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthen ND will be administering the grant through its Building Native Enterprises<\/em><\/strong> initiative. The goal is to invest time and resources into North Dakota’s rural communities thereby strengthening the economy. Using Capacity building<\/a> (the process by which individuals and organizations obtain, improve, and retain the skills, knowledge, tools, equipment, and other resources needed to do their jobs competently<\/em>), they are starting and growing Native American businesses that are involved in providing tourism and travel-related products and services, including scenic tours, retail, arts and culture enterprises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism<\/a> is the third-largest economic driver in North Dakota. Studies show that it is the greatest opportunity to diversify the economic base of Native Nations and develop a strong regional economy. According to able to Strengthen ND, tourism can weather any upcoming economic storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stacey LaCompte, indigenous communications and tribal advocate with Strengthen ND, spoke on this grant award, and the Building Native Enterprises: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the funding provided by USDA, Strengthen ND is able to provide one-on-one technical assistance for Native-led nonprofits, Native-owned small businesses, and tribal governments to create a more sustainable economy. <\/p>

Additionally, we will be working with Native and non-Native agencies to cultivate stronger relationships and effective communications by leading workshops to build a bridge of communication in education and awareness between Native and non-Native cultures.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Strengthen ND describes their organization as a dynamic, multi-faceted, and well-connected organization that works across North Dakota (ND) to elevate nonprofits and rural communities to support a high quality of life and resources for vulnerable populations through community development<\/em>. They matched the grant funds received from USDA Rural Development growing the size of the project\u2019s investment in North Dakota\u2019s Native Nations to $90,954.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
