PowWows.com holds a profound appreciation for the rich cultural traditions of Native American communities. We recognize the vital importance of preserving and carrying forward these traditions and feel privileged to stand by those who devote their lives to their preservation.
Our Pow Wow Grant Program stands as a tangible expression of our dedication to giving back to Native American dancers, singers, and powwow organizers.
Pow Wow Grant Program
We recognize that practicing and participating in pow wows involves significant dedication and expense. We know that being a part of the pow wow world can sometimes break the bank. The cost of traveling to events, building and maintaining regalia, securing space for the pow wow, and hiring head staff can be a real challenge.
Through the support of our dedicated followers, we are now able to give back. We believe in the importance of these traditions and the role pow wows play in keeping them alive and thriving for the next generation.
Application Process
Applications will accepted until December 31, 2024.
Award Distribution
The evaluation of applications will be carried out by an independent panel of experts. Awards will be made in early 2025.
By supporting this program, we aim to empower Native American communities and individuals in their ongoing efforts to safeguard and nurture their cultural heritage. Together, with the support of our dedicated readers, we will help ensure that these vibrant traditions continue to thrive and remain an integral part of the Native American experience.
Join us in this mission to honor and sustain the legacy of Native American traditions through the PowWows.com Grant Program.
