For-profit entities (including sole-proprietorships, partnerships and corporations), non-profit organizations, state and local government entities, American Indian Tribes and educational institutions are eligible to operate NABDCs. The NABDC Program has been in operation since 1982. The NABDCs provide generalized management and technical assistance and business development services to Native American business enterprises within their designated geographic service areas. The NABDC Program requirements further increase the impact of the NABDC projects by requiring that project operators deploy standardized business assistance services to the Native American business public directly, develop a network of strategic partnerships and provide strategic business consulting within the geographic service area. These requirements will be used to generate increased results with respect to financing and contracts awarded to Native American and minority-owed firms and thus, are a key component of this program.
