Native American Advocacy
We understand the importance of establishing partnerships with Tribal Nations and implementing programs for the advancement of Native American communities. The path to financial freedom is linked to education, health and wellness, and opening economic opportunities on tribal lands.
Tribal Governance
An essential component of any successful enterprise is to make sure it’s built on a foundation strong enough to support its growth. We begin most engagements by analyzing a client's needs to give us a starting point. We then engage in a discussion with the Tribal Chairman and/or Tribal Council to determine short and long-term goals. From here, we come back with suggestions for the optimal allocation of resources for economic development.
Native American Economic Development
Economic development is necessary for the long-term viability of tribes to maintain their independence from Federal subsidies. We have identified several industries that benefit from the unique circumstances surrounding doing business with Native American Tribes including sovereignty protections and tax advantages. At TPG we work to identify specific opportunities for our clients based on their current resources and the potential for success. We will work with each tribe to implement the business plan from pre-launch and start-up to full implementation.
Financial Advisory
We focus on developing financial service products and bringing them to market in Indian countries. We extend our resources and capabilities to assist in navigating the regulatory process through the final stages of product implementation. These ventures are created with the purpose of improving the quality of life for the client (tribes) and its members by creating economic projects that lead to financial success.
Grant Management Services
TPG Grant Management Services will assist tribes in centralizing grant activities to minimize operational costs, subsidize personnel expenses, and maximize project efficiency. From start to finish, we will provide transparency, provide strategic points of contact for grant activities, and seek new and innovative funding opportunities.
Competitive Advantages
In an expanding global economy, businesses and investors are looking for competitive advantages and more business-friendly environments. We provide a conduit for both private and public companies as well as investors to take advantage of doing business with Native American Indian tribes. Native American Indian tribal governments have the authority to establish their own laws and regulations. Most tribes have wholly-owned tribal corporate entities that enjoy most of the same legal protections and advantages as the tribe itself. In addition, the federal government has enacted a broad array of financial incentives to encourage investment in economic development projects in economically distressed areas in general, and on tribal lands specifically.
