Native American Advised Fund

The Native American Advised Fund at the Santa Fe Community Foundation, was established in 1993 with a gift from the late Allan Houser (Chiricahua Fort Sill Apache), a humanitarian and one of the world's great artists. Grants are made from the fund based on the recommendations of an all-Native advisory committee representative of our region's diverse Indigenous communities.

Since its inception, the Native American Advised Fund has granted over $880,000 to Native-led and serving tribes, schools, and organizations. The Fund will operate in perpetuity, benefiting this and future generations. Only the income from the fund is used to make grants.

Organizations based throughout New Mexico are eligible for funding.
