Native Food Sovereignty Grants | First Nations Development Institute Native Food Sovereignty Grants Native Agriculture and Food Systems Investments First Nations has long supported Native communities and organizations as they fortify traditional food systems, increase access to healthy and fresh foods, and expand knowledge of the linkages between food, Native cultures and tribal economic growth.
First Nations believes that reclaiming control over local food systems is an important step toward ensuring the long-lasting health and economic well-being of Native people and communities. Native food system control has the potential to increase food production, improve health and nutrition, and eliminate food insecurity in rural and reservation-based communities, while also promoting entrepreneurship and economic development.
In line with this belief and with the generous support of the Indigenous Peoples Fund at Tides Foundation and The 11th Hour Project of The Schmidt Family Foundation , along with additional organizational funders and individual donors, First Nations leads the GATHER Food Sovereignty Project.
GATHER began in 2018 as a three-year project to help Native communities strengthen Native food systems, bolster Native food economies, and advance Native food sovereignty. In addition to funding grants for food-relief support provided through First Nations’ COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund , the GATHER Food Sovereignty project includes several key components: GATHER Food Sovereignty Grants .
First Nations awards grants to Native-led organizations to support work that contributes to building a national movement that will fulfill a vision of Native communities and food systems that are self-directed, well-resourced and supported by community policies and systems and that focus on developing tribal food sovereignty.
This funding opportunity coincides with planting season and is designed to support organizations in their community work enacting Tribal Food Sovereignty. Additional funding has been provided by the Hewlett Foundation through First Nations’ California Tribal Fund, as well as through Keepseagle-related Native American Agriculture Fast-Track Fund (NAAFTF) , with dollars allocated to Oklahoma-based producers.
The 2023-2024 round of the Gather Food Sovereignty Grant (Year 4) was made possible with the generous support of NoVo Foundation . Native Agriculture & Food Systems Scholarships . Native Agriculture and Food Systems Scholarships launched in connection with the GATHER project.
