City of Peoria Tribal Pass-Through Grant Info Session

Are you a local nonprofit seeking Tribal Gaming funding through the City of Peoria? Join us for an informational session outlining the NEW City of Peoria Tribal Pass-Through Grant Application Process.

As a municipality, the City of Peoria serves as an intermediary for Tribal Gaming funds by reviewing applications, organizing City Council action, and passing funds through to eligible Peoria-based nonprofit organizations.
