The Native American Agriculture Fund (NAAF) aims to support Native American farmers and ranchers by providing business assistance, agricultural education, technical support, and advocacy services. This initiative stems from the Keepseagle v. Vilsack litigation settlement, with the mission to promote and ensure the continuous engagement of Native Americans in agriculture.
The grant program by NAAF targets 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, with a general focus on business assistance, agricultural education, technical support, and advocacy services. It specifically aims to address issues such as inflation assistance and supply chain relief. Additionally, it supports Tribal Departments of Agriculture and facilitates market access, aiming to empower and sustain the agricultural efforts of Native communities.
