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 2024 Request for Applications (RFA) by the Native American Agriculture Fund focuses on youth grants, applicable for all eligible entities. This initiative seeks to empower the next generation within the Native American farming and ranching community by providing the necessary support and resources to foster growth, education, and sustainability in agricultural practices.
