Supporting Tribal Energy Sovereignty

Tribal Clean Energy, From Vision to Reality

AI-powered tools and decades of tribal energy expertise, combined. We find the funding, write the applications, and lead projects from plan to completion.

The Problem

Funding is available. The bottleneck is capacity.

Federal and state clean energy programs are directing significant resources toward tribal communities. But capturing these opportunities requires grant writing, energy planning, compliance tracking, and project management expertise that most communities don't have in-house.

The Solution

We handle the entire grant lifecycle so you don't need a full-time grants team.

From finding opportunities to submitting applications to managing compliance after you win, our team provides the capacity you need. One partner, not five vendors.

Why Confluence AI

Building Smarter Tools for Tribal Energy Teams

We are building technology that multiplies your team's capacity. Not to replace tribal administrators, but to give them better tools.

The Challenge Grant discovery is manual.

Staff spend hours checking agency websites for new opportunities. Many get discovered too late to apply.

Where We're Headed AI-powered grant discovery.

Systems that monitor CEC, CARB, DOE, and tribal-specific programs, then match opportunities to your community's priorities.

Grant Monitor
New CEC Tribal Solar Program 98%
New DOE Tribal Energy 87%
Open CARB Clean Fleet 72%
Open BIA Energy Fund 64%
The Challenge Capacity is stretched thin.

Small teams, high turnover, and growing compliance demands mean tribal administrators are constantly behind.

Where We're Headed AI-assisted drafting.

AI analyzes grant requirements and your project data to generate first-draft applications. Your team reviews rather than writing from scratch.

The Challenge Reporting takes over.

Monthly and quarterly reports to funders eat into time that could go toward community priorities.

Where We're Headed Automated compliance reporting.

Quarterly and annual reports auto-populated from your project dashboard. Deadline tracking and audit-ready records without the manual work.

The Challenge Knowledge walks out the door.

Young staff lack context on grant history and processes. When experienced people leave, institutional knowledge goes with them.

Where We're Headed Tribal data sovereignty.

All community data stays under tribal control. No data used for model training. Your information, your decisions.
