SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Office of Indian Economic Development 
(OIED) announcement for the forthcoming FY 2024 Tribal Tourism Grant 
Program (TTGP) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) provides interested 
applicants time to prepare their applications prior to the opening of 
the application period. The OIED expects the official NOFO solicitation 
to run for approximately 90 days on Grants.gov to receive applications. 
Additional information for the FY 2024 TTGP NOFO, as well as a link to 
the final NOFO posting on Grants.gov, will be available on OIED's 
website at the following URL: https://www.bia.gov/service/grants/ttgp. 
Eligible applicants include:
     Native American Tribal Governments (federally recognized);
     Native American Tribal Organizations (other than federally 
recognized); and
     Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations, as defined in 
section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act 
(ISDEAA) (25 U.S.C. 5304), including Tribal Consortia.
    The FY 2024 TTGP cohort anticipates awarding $1.4 million in total 
funding. The OIED estimates awarding 10 to 15 grants, ranging in value 
from $75,000 to $150,000 in total funding for a 24-month period of

tourism project.

components. Applicants are encouraged to conduct the required 
registration activities for the System for Award Management (SAM), 
Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), the Automated Standard Application for 
Payment (ASAP), as well as acquire Tribal authorizations.
