NVR is now accepting grant applications. We encourage all Native-led groups that have a membership base in the community, work to develop leadership, and take collective action to win progressive social change to apply.
NVR grants provide general operating support of $10,000 to strengthen Native-led organizations in the United States that are improving the lives of their community members. Since created, a total of nearly $650,000 has been awarded to over 45 grassroots Native community organizations that are involved in organizing and advocacy. Previous grantees are collectively engaging thousands of community members across ten states.

Including specifically the protection of land, water, and the recognition of Native sovereignty.
