Former grant recipients become ambassadors for Native education opportunities
April 2, 2025
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.
We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. 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.
