Hoopa Valley Tribe Awards Small Business Grants to Tribal Entrepreneurs

The Hoopa Valley Tribal Council has approved a series of small business grants for eligible enterprises owned and operated by Hoopa Tribal members. Funded through the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provided under the American Rescue Plan Act, this initiative reflects the Tribe’s continued commitment to economic development and reinvestment within the Hoopa Valley community.

These grants are designed to provide critical financial support to local businesses, helping owners carry out the goals outlined in their proposals and strengthen their operations. By investing directly in Tribal entrepreneurs, the Hoopa Valley Tribe continues to support job creation, sustainability, and long-term economic growth.

All applications were carefully reviewed by the Hoopa Valley Tribal Council and were limited to Tribal member-owned businesses that were actively operating between March 2021 and December 2024. Final approval of the selected proposals took place on January 15, 2026.
