The FY2027 President's Budget requests $9.8M for Community and Economic Development, within Interior's Operation of Indian Programs account. That is down 70% on the FY2026 figure of $32.7M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $32.7M |
| FY2027 | request | $9.8M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Interior 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 Interior's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The Economic Development (TPA) subactivity consists of Tribal base economic development funding. The funding assists Tribes in developing programs to build business and commercial capacity for individual Tribal members, as well as opportunities to enhance reservation economies. This funding also facilitates technical assistance for Tribes and individual Indians on accessing Federal and non-Federal resources that support entrepreneurship, capacity-building, access to capital, and business development.
