“原住民基金”Yéego行动补助金

The Yéego Action Grant is a recurring monthly program offered by the First Peoples Fund (FPF) that provides up to $2,500 in financial assistance to individual Native artists and culture bearers who need rapid support for an artistic opportunity, emergency situation, or unanticipated expense related to their practice or business. The grant is not intended to fund new or existing projects, but rather to cover costs such as market entry fees, workshop fees, travel, lodging, meals, equipment repair, or medical expenses that impede artistic work.

Eligibility: Applicants must be at least 18 years old, a practicing artist, and an enrolled member or descendant of a U.S. federally or state‑recognized tribe, or an Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian. They must not have previously received a Yéego Action Grant, be enrolled in an academic program, or be a current FPF grantee/fellow. Group or multiple‑artist requests are not considered.

Application: Applications are submitted via Submittable (three links provided on the program page). There is no application fee. The deadline is the 10th of every month at 3:00 pm Mountain Time; the next upcoming deadline is 2026‑10‑10. Applications are reviewed monthly, and awardees are notified by the last day of the month. Funds are typically disbursed 6–8 weeks after the deadline.

Resources: The grant offers financial assistance up to $2,500. No housing or travel support is provided beyond what the grant covers.
