Details:
In 2002, Arizona tribes and the Governor concluded negotiations of a new standard form Tribal/State Gaming Compact which was subsequently approved by the Arizona voters as “Prop 202.” In Section 12 of the Compact, each tribe agreed to contribute a portion of its gaming revenues in exchange for substantial exclusivity covenants by the State. Tribes must deposit 88% of this contributed revenue into the Arizona Benefits Fund. By law, the State must use this contributed revenue to support education, healthcare, and other programs that benefit Arizona residents. A tribe may elect to distribute the remaining 12% (the “12% Contribution”) directly to the cities, towns and counties of its choosing.
The Ak-Chin Indian Community (“Community”) has elected to award the 12% Contribution generated in 2026 directly through its Prop 202 12% Grant Program (“Grant Program”). Through the Grant Program, the Community accepts applications from cities, towns, counties, and other organizations supported by a city, town, or county, seeking funding to support services that benefit the general public. The Community looks forward to supporting the Arizona community with grants made through the Grant Program.
