Federal Government Grants: Native American Indians
We have benefited from federal grant money over the years.
The first place to look for any federal grant money is www.grants.gov. Currently most grants available are for projects to improve technological access or repair environmental issues. A wide variety of funding sources are listed, from the Department of Natural Resources to the Bureau of Land Management.
Additionally, many tribal governments have grant writers on staff who can advise you on your proposed project and potential grant funding.
To read more about my experience with tribal government, read my book, Dancing My Dream, which can be purchased through this web site or through Amazon.com.
