Breaking news! The Navajo Division of Economic Development has reopened its grant program for Navajo Artisans and Businesses. If you did NOT receive funds from the program in 2020, you may be eligible to apply! The deadline to submit your application is August 31, but the program could shut down earlier if all funds are disbursed. So if you're eligible, apply NOW.

How do I apply?

We've put together all of the tools you'll need to apply here on our Resources page: https://www.nativestartup.org/resources Scroll down to Recovery for Native Businesses.

STEP 1: Make sure you're eligible. The eligibility criteria is the first link under the "Navajo Artisan and Business Relief Grant" section.

STEP 2: Make sure you have a Navajo Business Registration Number. (Artisans, this applies to you too!) If you don't have a business registration number, it can take 2-5 days to process once you submit your form.

STEP 3: Complete an Artisan or a Business Application by downloading and printing the application, picking up a paper application from the DED offices in Window Rock, or by completing your application on the online portal (available next week!).

Need help? We'd be happy to help.
Have specific questions? The DED staff at Western RBDO in Tuba City and St Michael's are on standby to assist you.
