About Us
Our mission is to uplift and sustain the lifeways and economies of Native communities through advocacy, financial support, and knowledge sharing.
We envision a world in which Tribal Sovereignty is upheld, and Native ingenuity and knowledge are honored and respected.
First Nations is the most highly-rated American Indian nonprofit in the nation. Indeed, every year since 2013, First Nations has received the top 4-Star rating from Charity Navigator. Learn more First Nations’ ratings and financial information.
Founded in 1980, First Nations began its national grantmaking program in 1993. Through mid-year 2024, we have successfully managed 3,473 grants totaling $85 million to Native American projects and organizations in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territory American Samoa.
