SUMMARY:Using Your Tribal Data to Chart Your Future: How Tribes Can Participate in the Survey of Native Nations
DESCRIPTION:On March 3\, the Center for Indian Country Development and NAFOA are hosting a special webinar opportunity for Tribal leaders and Native organizations to learn how they can participate in the Survey of Native Nations. \n\n\n\nBuilt on the principles of Indigenous data sovereignty\, the Survey of Native Nations is equipping Tribes across the country with high-quality public finance data they can use in their decision-making. Native organizations also have the opportunity to make the survey available to their member Tribes and gain valuable research-based insights about their members’ economic contributions and opportunities. \n\n\n\nThis one-hour webinar will cover what you need to know about the survey’s flexible design\, data-security procedures\, and the types of data analyses that participating tribes receive. We’ll also share examples of how tribes are leveraging this unique data collaboration to advance their data practices and economic development goals.

SUMMARY:Overview of Treasury Final Rules: General Welfare Exclusion & Wholly Owned Tribal Entities
DESCRIPTION:Join NAFOA for a webinar examining the finalization of Treasury rules on the General Welfare Exclusion Act and Tribal Wholly-Owned Corporate Entities—groundbreaking regulations that promise to transform Tribal economic development and provide long-awaited tax certainty for Indian Country.  \n\n\n\nAnnounced on December 15\, 2025\, these rules are the result of years of sustained Tribal advocacy and consultation with the Treasury Tribal Advisory Committee. They affirm Tribal sovereignty by granting Tribes deference in determining general welfare benefits. The rules explicitly exempt wholly-owned Tribally chartered corporations from federal income tax and recognize Tribal authority to make special needs determinations on par with states.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers will break down the key provisions of each regulation and explore their practical implications for Tribal finance operations and economic development strategies. We will address implementation considerations\, including IRS training requirements and audit suspensions. Explanation of this final guidance will assist Tribes with leveraging this tax clarity to strengthen their economies while maintaining sovereign authority when designing welfare programs or structuring business entities.
