THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Native/Tribal Youth, Food Access/Insecurity, Nutrition/Health, Native/Tribal Communities
Deadline: Oct. 5, 2023
“First Nations recognizes that American Indians have the highest rates of food insecurity in the United States. First Nations also recognizes that in the face of these food challenges, there are many efforts by Native communities and nonprofits that work to distribute food and decrease the rate of hunger and food insecurity in their communities. First Nations will ensure that Native nonprofits and tribal programs have resources for the long term and immediate distribution of food to Native people. Focuses include: general support for infrastructure building, supporting logistical aspects of food distribution, capacity building for organizations, networking, and accessing healthy foods. First Nations hopes to have a collective of about 240,000 pounds of food moved over the life of this grant so grantees will move around 5,000 pounds each annually.
With the generous support of the American Express Foundation, First Nations established the Strengthening Native Programs & Feeding Families Grant to provide support to the First Nations’ Food Pantry Initiative, which aims to sustain Native American communities, organizations, and programs addressing community needs with a particular focus on food insecurity. The food pantry initiative will respond to the fact that American Indians have the highest food insecurity in the United States. Through the Strengthening Native Programs & Feeding Families Grant, First Nations expects to award 12 tribes or Native-run nonprofits or Native community groups, which are addressing food insecurity through food distribution, with grants averaging $10,000 each annually over four years. In total, the Food Pantry initiative will support 48 non-profits or Native community groups.”
