“When you support arts and
culture, you’re supporting the future
of your children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. It’s crucial for
any kind of renewal. You have to
feed your spirit just as much as you
have to feed your body.”
- Joy Harjo (Mvskoke Nation)

strengthening Native arts, providing
artists and the creative community
with the resources and tools they need to succeed while expanding awareness and ac-
cess to Native knowledge and truth to enrich our communities and affect positive social
change. With less than one-tenth of 1% of national philanthropic funding for arts and
cultures supporting Native artists and Native Arts and Cultures Foundation communities,
we still have more work to do. Partnership is critical to our efforts to advance the works
and programming created by Native artists and culture bearers who are positively con-
tributing to their communities across the land. We invite you to be a part of this mission.
