Native American Entrepreneurial and Opportunity Act of 2025

This bill establishes an **Office of Native American Affairs** within the Small Business Administration (SBA). The primary goal of this Office is to cultivate strong working relationships with **Indian Tribes** and **Native Hawaiian Organizations**, specifically targeting SBA programs related to entrepreneurial development, contracting, and capital access to stimulate Native businesses and economic growth. The Office will be led by an **Associate Administrator for Native American Affairs**, who will possess expertise in Native American cultures and experience in providing culturally appropriate small business assistance. This Associate Administrator will be responsible for administering outreach, enhancing assistance through policy formulation, and collaborating with other federal agencies to holistically serve the needs of Native American entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the Office is authorized to provide **grants, contracts, and other financial assistance** to eligible Indian Tribes, Native Hawaiian Organizations, or non-profit entities. These funds will support training, counseling, and educational outreach to help Native businesses access SBA's entrepreneurial, capital, and contracting programs. The bill also authorizes necessary appropriations for the Office's operations from fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
