Funding
Discover grant opportunities designed to support Native communities in creating sustainable, impactful projects.
The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) offers grant opportunities that support Native communities in advancing long-term social, cultural, and economic goals. Whether your focus is on environmental initiatives, education or economic development, the Center offers the resources and guidance you need to bring your ideas to life. Funding opportunities may vary by year.
Specific funding opportunities are announced through Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) when available. ANA releases each NOFO in the late fall or early winter; a January or February publication is typical, and ANA typically gives about 60 days from publication to the due date. Monitor Grants.gov (search for keyword: ANA) and the ANA website, and sign up for the newsletter for the latest updates. Help with planning and applying is available through Request TTA.
