Native Americans in Philanthropy

ABout

Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP) promotes equitable and effective philanthropy in Native communities. We have more than a 30-year presence in the field and work closely with our counterpart organizations advocating for Tribal communities. The cornerstone of our work is our relatives and our networks. We support several communities of stakeholders that work together to build knowledge, community, priorities, and power in the sector. These networks include Native professionals in philanthropy, elected Tribal leaders, Native youth leaders, Native philanthropic executives and board members, and Native nonprofit leaders.

NAP will develop 2-3 pilot economic development projects in partnership with Tribal Nations, using philanthropic capital to support the initial phase of project development while providing technical assistance to access private market capital and tribally set-aside federal funding sources that will sustain the projects.
