Community Micro-Grant Program
Supporting Hopi Agriculture and Food Sovereignty, the Natwani Coalition's Community Micro Grant Program is dedicated to empowering Hopi farmers, gardeners, and community members by providing financial support for projects that enhance traditional agricultural practices, food production, and sustainability. This program aims to strengthen food security, preserve cultural knowledge, and promote self-sufficiency across the Hopi community. Whether you're starting a new garden, improving irrigation systems, or revitalizing heirloom seed collections, our grants can help bring your vision to life.
To date, the program has awarded over $140,000 in funding, supporting 115 projects across the Hopi community. These projects have addressed diverse needs, from enhancing food security to fostering cultural preservation.
