  • Overview: The Food Sovereignty Grant seeks to support the hunter, gatherer, and grower way of life by funding Native organizations and individuals who preserve and practice these traditions. Food Sovereignty is protected and supported because of the history of an oppressive culture forcibly removing the inherent rights of Natives to pray, grow, gather, hunt, fish, feed, share, and care for themselves.

    NIF provides grants to Native people who are leading community-based food sovereignty and sustainability efforts, and ensuring the revitalization of culture and recognition of treaty rights for future generations.
