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 advisory committee. All members of the advisory committee are drawn from the local Native American communities.
Since 1997, the Native American Advised Fund has granted over $200,000 to 50 different 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. The Native American Advised Fund considers grants in the fall, corresponding to the Santa Fe Community Foundation’s respective competitive grant cycle.
