Nonprofit Grant Deadlines

Grants for tribal and Native communities

This page gathers open grants written for tribes, tribal organizations, tribal colleges and nonprofits serving American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities. The topics range from health outreach and museum services to legal assistance, drought response and environmental programs.

Check who may apply before you begin. Some programs require a federally recognized tribe as the applicant, while others accept a tribal organization or a Native-serving nonprofit. If you are applying on behalf of a tribe, the notice may ask for a tribal resolution, and that can take a council meeting to secure.

Many of these listings also appear under their subject area, such as health or education.

Pick a grant below, open the official notice, and check who can apply before anything else.

11 open listings right now. The next deadline is November 2, 2026. 7 research calls match, collapsed below.

Deadline times and time zones vary. Check the funder's page for the exact cutoff.
