Funding for Tribes in the Inflation Reduction Act

Download the Inflation Reduction Act Tribal Guidebook

Tribal Nations are on the frontlines of climate change, which threatens Tribal homelands, food sources, cultural resources, and sacred ways of life. Native communities have faced chronic underinvestment for generations, and climate impacts—including drought, wildfires, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events—have exacerbated pre-existing challenges and inequities.

The President’s Investing in America agenda has secured historic levels of funding specifically for Tribal Nations and Native communities, including $32 billion in the American Rescue Plan, $13 billion in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and more than $720 million in the Inflation Reduction Act. As of December 2024, nearly $2 billion of Inflation Reduction Act funds had been awarded to Tribal Nations and Native communities.

This guidebook provides an overview of the clean energy, climate mitigation and resilience, agriculture, and conservation-related funding programs in the Inflation Reduction Act for which Tribes are eligible. The guidebook also provides information on how Tribes can leverage new and expanded clean energy tax credits to reduce pollution and energy costs on Tribal lands.
