Promising Program & Capacity Building Grants
The Notah Begay III Foundation (NB3F)’s national program, Native Strong: Healthy Kids, Healthy Futures is pleased to announce the 2016 “Seeds of Native Health” Promising Program Grant and Capacity Building Grant Request For Applications (RFA).
Thanks to the generous support of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) and their recently launched national campaign, “Seeds of Native Health”, the NB3F will provide needed investment in Tribal Nations and Native American organizations working to improve nutrition and access to healthy foods for their children and communities.
Promising Program Grants ($40,000 each) will focus on existing healthy food/nutrition programming that engages Native American youth.
The Capacity Building Grants ($20,000 each) will focus on community health assessments and community planning around healthy food/nutrition. Both grants are one year long.
- Application deadline for both grant opportunities is January 22, 2016, at 5:00 p.m. MST.
- All applications must be submitted through NB3F’s online system.
- Additional information including eligibility criteria, the full Request for Application (RFA), informational webinar registration, and the link to the online applications can be found on NB3F’s Promising Program Grant page and Capacity Building Grant page.
Applications will be accepted from throughout the United States. However, preference will be given to applicants located in the following areas: Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota.
Please share these funding opportunities with colleagues, tribal leadership, community and non-profit leaders whose interests align with this initiative.
