CSKT SMALL BUSINESS RELIEF GRANTS

                                                                       Ends on November 15

The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) recognize the devastating economic impact of COVID-19 on Tribal member-owned businesses operating on the Flathead Reservation. In response, the Tribal Council has designated Coronavirus Relief Funds to support CSKT member-owned small businesses in the recovery, stabilization, and adaptation of operations. The CSKT Small Business Relief Grants are available to qualified Tribal businesses to maintain and/or modify operations as they adapt to challenges of the global health pandemic. 

This financial assistance is funded by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s CARES ACT (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security) CSKT allocation. The receipt of a government grant by a business is generally included in the business’s gross income under the IRS Code and may be taxable. Please contact your tax advisor with any tax-related questions.

APPLICATION DEADLINE:  Sunday, November 15, 2020, at Midnight or until all funds are disbursed.
