Food Sovereignty Fund

Geographic Scope: Pacific Northwest region (based on 2023 recipients spanning multiple states)

Focus Areas:

• Preserving and practicing hunter, gatherer, and grower way of life
• Food sovereignty and sustainability efforts
• Revitalization of culture
• Recognition of treaty rights
• Community-based food sovereignty initiatives

Eligibility:

• Native organizations
• Native individuals
• Those leading community-based food sovereignty and sustainability efforts

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.

Recent Awards: In 2023, recipients totaled $470,000
