OUR MISSION

Our mission is to honor and support the Collective Spirit © of First Peoples artists and culture bearers. Our work recognizes the power of art and culture to bring about positive change in Native communities, beginning with individual artists and their families. First Peoples Fund is a Native-led non-profit that provides direct funding, resources, and professional development to Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Alaska Native artists, culture bearers, and Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI).

We believe that art embodies Native peoples’ culture, an understanding of who we are, and where we come from. Artists and culture bearers give us the power to connect with our past and chart our future.
