Navajo Revitalization Fund

Navajo Revitalization Fund
The Navajo Revitalization Fund (NRF) was created to maximize the long term benefit of oil and gas severance taxes derived from lands held in trust by the Federal Government for the Navajo Nation and its members living in Utah. It was construed to promote cooperation and coordination between the state, its political subdivisions and the tribe.

The Fund was authorized in Section 35A-8-1701, et seq of the Utah Code. The goal is to maximize the long-term benefits of state severance taxes paid on oil and natural gas production by providing grants and/or loans to agencies of county or tribal government in San Juan County which are impacted by the development of oil and gas interests in Utah held in trust for the Navajo Nation and its members.

The NRF is controlled by a five-member board composed of a governor's designee, two members of the San Juan County Commission whose districts include portions of the Navajo Reservation, the chair of the Navajo Utah Commission or his designee, and a president of one of the seven chapters located in Utah or his designee. The Housing and Community Development Division (HCD) within the Utah Department of Workforce Services (DWS) provides administrative and operational support to the NRF.
