NTIA is soliciting applications for the Native Entities Grant Program ( Program ), authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, Division F, Title III, Public Law 117-58, 135 Stat. 429, 1209 (November 15, 2021) (codified at 47 U.S.C. 1701, 1721, et seq.) (the Digital Equity Act of 2021 or Act ). The Act authorizes two programs that set aside funds for Indian Tribes, Alaska Native entities, and Native Hawaiian organizations (collectively Native Entities ): the State Digital Equity Capacity Grant Program and the Digital Equity Competitive Grant Program. To reduce administrative burden and cost, NTIA is releasing the funds for both programs through a single application process.
