Native American Heritage Month Fund

First Peoples Fund

Founded in 1995, First Peoples Fund (FPF) is guided by Collective Spirit®, that which moves each one of us to stand up and make a difference, to pass on ancestral knowledge and simply extend a hand of generosity. Our mission is to honor and support the Collective Spirit® of Native culture bearers and artists in order to encourage and sustain the collective creation of a vibrant Indigenous Arts Ecology. Our work has evolved into a holistic strategy that recognizes the importance of Native culture bearers and artists in bringing about social change, encouraging leaders and inspiring next-generation leaders.
