Tribal/Native-led Organizations/Non-profits

Tribal membership is open to Tribal Governments and/or Tribal grantmaking entities. NAP deeply respects Tribal self-determination, and does not require Tribal members to disclose sensitive financial information. We do, however, ask that Tribes and Tribal grantmaking entities provide a NAP membership rate commensurate with their giving portfolio and ability. Unlimited number of staff members and trustees can receive benefits. Membership dues are based on the annual expense budget.
