Native Arts + Heritage Fund

Applications for the Native Arts + Heritage Fund are now open.

This new grant celebrates cultural knowledge, creativity, and community connection. Rooted in a responsive, equitable, and trust-based framework, the fund provides support through care, relationships, and authentic storytelling.

Awardees will engage in reflective processes centered on democracy, wellness, and belonging. Through story-based conversations and creative exploration, they’ll have the space to honor cultural traditions, strengthen community ties, and amplify their creative voices.

The Native Arts + Heritage Fund (NAHF) is a community-rooted award program created to support Native American and Alaska Native artists, culture bearers, and cultural practitioners across the Creative West region.
