FY 2025 Annual Budget Needs Assessment

INTRODUCTION
The Nez Perce Tribe has an annual budget of approximately $80 million, with $50 million is grant funding. Only a portion of the budget is completely discretionary including gaming, fuel and tobacco taxes, and other miscellaneous income, which accounts for around 18 percent of the total budget. These funds provide much of the resources for critical services, including general council and executive government operations and enrollment services, police patrol, community buildings, elder and veteran services, youth programming, economic development, law and justice services, conservation enforcement, and direct financial assistance programs.

Public input is an important and valued part of the budget preparation process. This survey has been developed to help us understand your priorities.

Please submit completed assessments no later than Friday, August 23rd: to Ashton Picard, Budget & Finance Subcommittee, Nez Perce Tribe, P.O. Box 365, Lapwai, ID 83540. Fax: (208) 843-7354.
