Native American Program

• The "Native American Program" (NAP) helps Native Americans who are trying to create a successful business. The NAP gives to certain business "development centers" that assist Native Americans in managing their business and technical support. If one of these "development centers" regularly helps Native Americans who own small businesses to set up their computers then it may be able to obtain such a grant. However, direct funding to Native American businesses is not permitted.
  
  

Tribal Colleges and Universities Program

• The "Tribal Colleges and Universities Program" (TCUP) aids Native American
  tribal colleges and universities. It provides such institutions with funding to construct, make bigger and furnish their facilities. However, such money cannot be used for anything else. Thus if a tribal college needs money to buy equipment for its football team it cannot use TCUP grant money. It can use such money to repair the locker room where the football team is based.
  
  

Indian Community Development Block Grant Program

No portion of these funds may be used to fund political activities or construction of government buildings.
