State Announces Public Comment Period for Tribal Investment Initiative

The Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), in partnership with the Labor and Workforce Development Agency and the Employment Development Department, invites your feedback on the Tribal Investment Initiative’s proposed Solicitation for Proposals (SFP). The Tribal Investment Initiative is associated with the Regional Investment Initiative (formerly Community Economic Resilience Fund). 

The Tribal Investment Initiative provides up to $15 million to California Native American Tribes to support building equitable and sustainable Tribal economies across California and fostering long-term economic resilience while transitioning to a carbon-neutral economy.
