The Native American Agriculture Fund (NAAF) is a private, charitable trust that was established as a result of the historic Keepseagle v. Vilsack litigation settlement. NAAF's mission is to provide grants to eligible Native American farmers and ranchers, supporting them with business assistance, agricultural education, technical support, and advocacy services to promote their continued engagement in agriculture.
With a focus on sustainable rural economic development, NAAF aims to harness the economic and nutritional potential of the Native American food and agriculture sector. Through partnerships and resources, NAAF works towards reimagining Native food economies and addressing challenges such as food security during times of crisis. The fund prioritizes individuals with substantial knowledge of agricultural issues, finance and investment experience, and grant-making experience for its Board of Trustees.
