Maada'ookiing offers support for Native American-led community building with grants now up to $5,000 to individuals or groups to strengthen culture and community.
Maada'ookiing ("the distribution" in Ojibwe) is a Native-led program of the Northland Foundation designed to strengthen relationships with and offer support to Native American community members doing individual or small group projects that strengthen culture or community.
A grant opportunity is offered three times per year, awarding up to $5,000 per grant for Tribal citizens, descendants, or individuals with kinship ties or affiliation to Native American communities for projects happening within the foundation's geographic service area. Grant applications are accepted any time. An advisory board of Native American individuals reviews the applications to approve grants for funding.
