Native Technical Assistance Program (TAP)

Fostering Indigenous Prosperity: Igniting Success for Native Entrepreneurs

The Native Technical Assistance Program (Native TAP) is a specialized initiative designed to offer no-cost technical assistance to Native, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian individuals, businesses, and communities in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Native TAP is dedicated to working with all members of the community to advance the educational and economic opportunities for Natives in the Greater Pacific Northwest.

Businesses and individuals participating in the Native TAP are eligible to access our culturally responsive and vetted Professional Service Provider (PSP) Network at no cost which include legal services, accounting & bookkeeping support, credit coaching, tax preparation, human resource support, marketing & design, and more! Our PSP Network is made up of Native, Black, Indigenous, and POC businesses supporting your entrepreneurial journey.
