Community Grant Programs

An Indigenous Approach to Chronic Disease Education, Prevention, and Management

Overview

Our Community Grants Program supports culturally rigorous chronic disease prevention programs to enhance public health infrastructure among urban Indian populations.

The Sage and Sweetgrass funding opportunities are part of an initiative to strengthen public health programming in urban American Indian and Alaska Native organizations through the use of Indigenous methodologies, frameworks, and evaluation approaches. Our goal is to provide urban Indian organizations with the ability to build and sustain programs to combat chronic disease through education, prevention, and management.

Sweetgrass Grants

In 2024, we’re offering our Sweetgrass grants for the sixth year in a row. This cycle, we’re awarding up to four grants of $10,000 to urban Native health and human service organizations, and urban Indian organizations with programming focused on Indigenous approaches to chronic disease.

Sage Grants

Sage grants are awarded to at least 10 eligible urban Native health and human service organizations and to urban Indian organizations which have programming focused on Indigenous approaches to chronic disease. These awardees receive grants of up to $61,670 for their programming efforts.

Decolonizing Data Grants

Our Decolonizing Data grant opportunity offers funding for cultural restoration, resurgence of data stewardship, and collaborative partnership building. Awardees receive up to $5,000 for their programming.
