First Peoples Fund has always championed artists and culture bearers as the heart of our communities. We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Yéigo Action Grant, a dynamic new initiative designed to empower and uplift Native artists and culture bearers. This grant provides crucial financial support for professional development opportunities or to help overcome any challenges that may stand in the way of creative expression.
The Yéigo Action Grant offers funding ranging from $100 to $5,000 to individual Native artists and culture bearers. At First Peoples Fund (FPF), we understand the significance of supporting artists through tough times, especially when unexpected hardships arise. The grant’s name, inspired by the Diné word “yéigo,” is a phrase of encouragement meaning “keep going” or “don’t give up.”
We encourage you to spread the word about this exciting opportunity within your network and urge eligible individuals to apply. Together, we can ensure that Native artists continue to flourish and share their invaluable talents with our communities.
Don’t give up—keep going with a Yéigo Action Grant! Apply today and share this opportunity with your friends and family. For more information, visit our website, or reach out to us at
programs@firstpeoplesfund.org with any questions.
