Kayleon Strategic Partners secured over $4 million in TIF funding for the Canoncito Band of Navajo Healthcare Clinics

The Tribal Infrastructure Fund (TIF) is New Mexico's premier funding source for critical tribal infrastructure projects, providing millions annually through state severance tax bonds. Established in 2005, TIF recognizes that many of New Mexico's tribal communities lack basic infrastructure, including water and wastewater systems, roads, and electrical power lines. Each year, 4.5% of the state's estimated senior severance tax bonding capacity is allocated for tribal infrastructure projects, typically ranging from $13-16 million annually.

Why TIF Applications Are Complex

TIF funding is highly competitive, with construction projects ranging from $100,000 to $3 million and applications evaluated by a 13-member Tribal Infrastructure Board. Projects must demonstrate:

• High priority in tribal Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plans (ICIP)

• Significant community benefit relative to funding requested

• Readiness to proceed with shovel-ready status

• Compliance with strict state requirements and timelines
