Since our inception, Native Voices Rising has awarded over $16 million in grants to more than 380 Native-led grassroots organizations. These grants have empowered initiatives that enhance the lives of tens of thousands of Native community members across Indian Country. Our grant partners have been at the forefront of addressing critical issues, from championing environmental and climate justice to advancing health and healing and fostering youth and intergenerational involvement.
The application period for the Native Voices Rising 2025 grant cycle is now open. We encourage eligible organizations to explore the application process and criteria detailed on our website. Please note that the submission deadline is July 4, 2025.
We invite individuals and organizations passionate about supporting Native-led solutions to participate in the pooled funding of Native Voices Rising. By investing in our initiatives, donors can directly contribute to impactful change while engaging in a participatory grantmaking process and joining our learning community dedicated to increasing awareness and visibility of Native communities. To contribute directly, please visit our donation page and designate your support for Native Voices Rising, or contact our staff for further assistance.
