📣 The Indigenous Tomorrows Fund (ITF) opens for applications on May 20, 2026!

Native youth are cultivating thriving communities. We're honored to invite you into what they're growing.

Over the past year, Native youth leaders aged 14–24 came together through listening sessions, visioning circles, and participatory design experiences to answer a shared question: What do you believe your community needs to thrive?

Their dreams and visions author this fund.

In 2026, ITF will move $1,650,000 to Native-led and Native-serving organizations across the U.S. and its territories — offering three tiers of grants: $25K, $65K, and $100K, with every funding decision made by Native youth.

We will invest in five youth-authored bundles of community thriving:
✨ Maintaining the Life Cycle of Balance: Culture, ceremony, and language as sovereignty. Youth as culture carriers.
✨ Intergenerational Knowledge & Relationships: Youth, adults, and Elders woven together. Building strong relationships is the work.
✨ Healing: Holistic, culturally informed care that nourishes the whole self — body, mind, and spirit.
✨ Nurturing That Which Nourishes Us: Indigenous foodways, lands, and waters as one living system. Youth learning how to care for and protect the system.
✨ Building Power & Activating Abundance: Sovereignty, leadership, and the resources Native communities need to thrive.

We welcome applications from Native-led and Native-serving 501c3 organizations, Tribal Nations-affiliated initiatives, and fiscally sponsored projects of 501c3 organizations, where Native youth, especially those under 18, are central to the work you do.

For more information about the Indigenous Tomorrows Fund 2026 grant cycle, read the full Request for Proposals: nativephilanthropy.org/blog/upcoming-itf26

The Indigenous Tomorrows Fund is a powerful collaboration between Native Americans in Philanthropy and our funder partners: Newman’s Own Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Wellspring Philanthropic Fund, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, and private donors.
