Tribal Grants
Pinal County supports local nonprofits in their efforts to serve the residents
of our community through Proposition 202 Indian Gaming Grant funding.
In November 2002, the voters of Arizona approved Proposition 202 which initiated
new gaming compacts between the State of Arizona and the Native American communities. An important provision
of Proposition 202 was the sharing of gaming revenues with the State. Henceforth, tribes would be assessed
by the State a percentage of their gross gaming revenue. Tribes had the option of either paying all of this
assessment into a State managed fund or to pay 88% of the assessment into the State managed fund and retain
12% of the assessment for distribution as grants.
The law also stipulates that local non-profits may submit applications to tribal
entities if the non-profit organization’s application is “sponsored” by an appropriate local government such
as a county. As stipulated by the law, sponsorship means the adoption of a board of supervisor resolution
authorizing the submission of the grant application and/or pass-through resolution under the auspices of the
local government. The board of supervisor resolution is a mandated part of application and/or award based on
each individual tribe’s process.
In cases where the County agrees to act as a pass-through, the County receives the grant funds from the
tribal community and in turn issues a check to the non-profit agency. The County will execute a pass-through
agreement prior to the distribution of the grant funds. To be eligible a resolution or an authorized
signature must accompany your application based on the tribal entities requirements.
Requests for support should be made a minimum of 4 weeks prior to the
application due date in order to get the items placed on a Board of Supervisor’s agenda for consideration
and adoption of a resolution. It is the responsibility of the non-profit to obtain and adhere to the grant
requirements outlined by each tribal entity and their respective due dates. Once a resolution is approved by
the Board of Supervisors, the County will email the resolution to the non-profit. It is the responsibility
of the non-profit to submit their application to the tribal entity for consideration.
To request support, fill out the Tribal Grant Approval Form and submit it to
[email protected]. A separate form must be submitted for each tribal entity to which you are requesting
funding. Please contact the grants office at [email protected] or by calling the Grants Administrator at
520-866-6422 with questions.
