THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Native Youth/Children, Youth Development, Youth Health/Wellness, Physical Activity, Culture
Deadline: Apr. 12, 2021
“The NB3 Foundation invests in community-led, culturally-rooted programs that promote physical activity, healthy nutrition, youth development and cultural connections. The Foundation confidently believes that all communities have the inherent knowledge, values and assets to develop strategies to ensure their children and communities are healthy. This initiative is designed to provide Native American communities, tribes and Native-led organizations with the financial support, technical assistance, collaboration opportunities and inspiration to develop or further collective impact efforts that promote one or more of the Foundation’s four core areas.
Based upon the lessons learned through NB3 Foundation’s Native Youth on the Move initiative, grants are designed to support organizations and tribes interested in serving as the “backbone organizations” initiating or deepening a collective and strategic network to promote Native youth health. In phase one of the grant (planning phase), grantees will receive financial and technical support in order to first complete an environmental scan of the communities they serve. The information gained through this scan will then be utilized to develop an implementation plan that will improve and sustain Native youth health in relation to one or more of the following core areas:
• Increasing opportunities for physical activity,
• Increasing access to healthy and affordable foods,
• Building youth leadership and advocacy,
• Deepening cultural connections.
In this second phase of the grant (implementation phase), grantees will implement their plan to develop or strengthen key community partnerships in order to collaboratively promote Native youth health. In addition to financial support, over the course of these grants, NB3 Foundation will provide collaboration opportunities with other Community Empowerment cohort members and training in Indigenous evaluation and research, collective impact best practices, sustainable funding sources and other relevant topics.”
