Colorado River Indian Tribes posted requests for proposals on June 23 for outside accounting help and management support for its revolving credit and personal loan programs.

The loan-services solicitation, dated January 12, 2026, seeks underwriting and portfolio management support for CRIT’s Revolving Credit and Personal Loan Programs. The portfolio includes about 44 active home loans and 319 active personal loans, and the program serves tribal member single-family homeowners, business owners and people seeking financial assistance. The program is designed to help members achieve home ownership and to provide technical assistance for starting a small business.

Applications are reviewed by the Revolving Credit Committee and then forwarded to the CRIT Tribal Council for final action. The main considerations are ability to repay, credit history, employment, collateral, cash invested and experience. The Revolving Credit Officer position is vacant.

A separate accounting solicitation, also dated January 12, 2026, seeks enterprise certified public accounting services for CRIT Enterprises. The selected firm would handle financial statement preparation, daily bookkeeping, sales reporting, reconciliation, financial analysis, projections, forecasting, capital expenditure planning and audit preparation for a portfolio of 20 tribal enterprises. Those operations include retail stores, convenience stores and fuel stations, sand and gravel, residential leasing, mobile home and RV parks, storage facilities, a movie theatre, airport operations, shopping plaza and commercial leasing, and public works and utilities.
