THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Native/Tribal Youth, Food Access/Insecurity, Nutrition/Health, Native/Tribal Communities
Deadline: May 14, 2025
“Native Food Security projects are designed to ensure consistent access and availability to an abundance of culturally relevant foods that meet the needs and preferences of Native communities. American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities must have reliable access to traditional foods that support both physical and spiritual well-being. While conventional food security focuses on the nutritional needs of individuals and households, Native Food Security extends beyond sustenance. It encompasses the physical and spiritual nourishment of families, households, Tribes, clans, communities, lands, and the foods themselves to further the conditions that support Native Food Security. Focus Areas:
- Native Food Distribution – Providing Food to Community
- Food Life Cycle – Strengthening any Point in the Food Life Cycle
- Wild Food Harvesting: Hunting, Fishing, Gathering
- Resilient Native Foodway.”
