Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This funding opportunity targets health‑and‑wellness initiatives in tribal and Indigenous communities across the United States. It is designed for organizations that serve American Indian or Alaska Native tribes, tribal health entities, or Indigenous‑serving nonprofits. Individual applicants typically are not eligible; the emphasis is on organizational capacity and community impact.
The intent of the funds is to support work in several focus areas: strengthening public health systems in tribal settings, improving infrastructure (such as electronic case‑reporting or accreditation), advancing environmental health and justice in Indigenous communities, and supporting culturally grounded approaches to wellness and healing. Projects might include community outreach, capacity building of tribal health programs, environmental risk reduction, or public‑health preparedness related to emerging threats.
Use of funds may cover program development, staffing, training, materials, or partnerships that advance the project’s objectives. The funds are particularly suited for organizations that already serve tribal populations or are embedded in Indigenous health systems, and are prepared to demonstrate how the work benefits community health, culture, or infrastructure.
Grant amounts vary significantly depending on the scale and scope of the project; some smaller awards may support pilot efforts or localized outreach, while others fund larger multi‑year efforts with more substantial budgets. Deadlines and cycles are announced per opportunity and may be rolling or fixed per each funding round. Applicants must track when a specific application window opens, ensure organizational eligibility (a tribal entity or Indigenous‑serving organization) and ensure alignment with one of the priority areas.
Overall, this opportunity is well suited for tribal health departments, Indigenous‑serving nonprofits, or tribal epidemiology/ health infrastructure entities ready to respond with culturally responsive, community‑led efforts. If your organization is embedded in tribal service, has an established capacity, and is ready for a competitive application aligned with Indigenous health priorities, this grant may be a valuable fit.
