Native American Jump Start has launched an ambassador program, featuring nine individuals, including former grant recipients, to raise awareness about educational grants for Native students. The ambassadors will work with Native student centers to promote leadership development and higher education opportunities. With funding from private donations, the program supports up to 100 microgrants annually. The fall grant application period opened on April 1.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.

Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact. Cancel anytime.
