Grantmaking

Founded in 1980, First Nations began its national grantmaking program in 1993. Through mid-year 2020, we have successfully managed 1,928 grants totaling $40.2 million to Native American projects and organizations in 40 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. Territory American Samoa.

Our grantmaking program provides both financial and technical resources to tribes and Native nonprofit organizations to support asset-based development efforts.
