Native EdgeNativeEdge is a White House Interagency initiative developed to achieve sustainable economic development within the American Indian and Alaska Native communities. It links over twelve federal agencies through a single toll-free number and web site so that entrepreneurs, Native Americans, lending institutions, non-profits, foundations and private businesses can collaborate to promote economic growth in Indian Country. Native eDGE combines the services and resources of a comprehensive call center, an interactive web site, a publications clearinghouse, and prompt technical assistance by economic development specialists. The web site houses a comprehensive inventory of Federal programs available to Native American communities. Databases of non-Federal resources are also available via direct links from the Native eDGE page. The clearinghouse, established through HUD's customer service and distribution center, provides informational brochures, pamphlets, and reference materials on economic development to tribes, tribal entities, individuals and other supporting organizations. http://www.gsa.gov/gsa/cm_attachments/GSA_DOCUMENT/10-JBFloyd_R2F-mD_0Z5RDZ-i34K-pR.htm Toll-free Phone Number: (877) 807-9013 |
