Tourism matching grants for tribal governments

The law appropriates $100,000 from the state general fund to the Department of Commerce for July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The money is one-time and funds tribal tourism grants. A North Dakota tribal government can apply for up to $20,000, matching its own committed funds. The application must include a plan to promote and enhance tribal nation tourism. The department’s Division of Tourism reviews and oversees awards and spending. The department reports to Legislative Management on distribution, use, and impact.
