Native American Philanthropy has made large efforts to empower Native communities through philanthropic practices, making us a proud partner. Recently, they have published a funding report in conjunction with the Foundation center with shocking information.
Native American Philanthropic funding has slipped from 0.5% of total overall grant dollars to 0.3% as of 2009-- with Native American health amongst those receiving the fewest funding!
Our NACH program is committed to lessening the gap and has taken steps to relieving funding obstacles. Ana has created a Native Philanthropy Directory as a means to share more resources to those seeking grants. Stay tuned for this directory to be published on the website!
