Timing

By invitationNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.The page describes cohort and capacity-building grantmaking without an open deadline. The only dated item on the page is the NB3 Youth Council application (May 15, 2026 deadline, Native youth 14-24 in New Mexico), which is a leadership programme rather than a grant.

Who can apply

Community organisation, Practitioner

Eligibility

The foundation funds Native American communities, tribes, and Native-led organizations; grantmaking includes cohorts, capacity building, and technical assistance rather than open unsolicited proposals. The foundation's page does not advertise an open application, so the practical route is contacting staff or partnering with an invited grantee.
