Infrastructure
Infrastructure involves design, implementation, and sustainability of systems and structures.
We support tribal colleges and universities expanding their education offerings for students in this area, with opportunities to create well-designed learning spaces with the appropriate equipment, and to sustain or expand infrastructure.
