The FY2027 President's Budget requests — for Tribal Grants, within Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration account.
Commerce discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Commerce's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program has awarded up to $2.940 billion in grants to eligible entities, which include a Tribal Government, a Tribal College or University, the Department of Hawaiian Homelands on behalf of the Native Hawaiian Community, including Native Hawaiian Education Programs, a Tribal organization, or a Native Corporation. These funds will be used for the deployment and adoption of broadband service on Tribal land. This includes $980 million from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and $1.96 billion from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
