Funding is available for both rural (including community-based organizations, located within NYS, serving Nation members living on or off Nation territory) and non-rural organizations. Funding amount is up to $250,000 per organization. The funding must be used to support a community wellness project which applicant will describe when applying. This is a one-time funding opportunity.

Applicant organizations must propose to partner with a grassroots organization in their community catchment area whose work aligns with the applicant’s proposed project.
