How It Works:
Running Strong is granting up to $25,000 each year to Native artisans who celebrate their Indigenous identity through their artwork. We will select up to 10 Native artists (graphic designers, beadworkers, seamstresses, painters, photographers, illustrators, potters, and more) to receive up to $2,500 each to support their work.
Grant funds may be used for:
- Supplies, materials, and equipment
- Workshops and seminars
- Stipends for culture bearers
- Professional development
Weight will be given to unique, self-driven projects over travel to or attendance of projects sponsored by other organizations. Grant may be disbursed to either individual applicant or to partnering nonprofit organization.
