Native Arts & Cultures Foundation Charity Profile
The Native Arts & Cultures Foundation is dedicated to promote the revitalization, appreciation, and perpetuation of Native arts and cultures in all sectors of society through philanthropy and partnership, ensuring a path that benefits present and future generations of indigenous peoples in America.
“After years of planning, it’s thrilling to embark on our journey to strengthen Native arts and cultures,” said Lulani Arquette, president and chief executive officer of the NACF. “The arts have always played a significant role in Native cultures, and are a powerful path for connecting one generation to the next. It’s our mission to provide financial support to artists and organizations to help our cultures flourish. We look forward to creating opportunities to emphasize the shared values of Native communities.”
The NACF announced $394,000 in 2010 grants, awarded to 26 individuals and organizations within three funding initiatives:
