How do I get native american funding or covid 19 funding aid?

Hey there! Thanks for writing in!

As of September 30, 2020, CDC has provided $208.7 million to tribal nations, consortia, and organizations for responding to COVID-19 across tribal communities. Funds were then distributed to Indian Health Service areas and from there distributed to tribes within IHS service areas.

I found out about COVID funding relief through the tribal grapevine (my uncle texted me), but you can check on your tribe’s official website. Just do an internet search. You can also see if you tribe has Social Media channels that you can follow, as this is how lots of tribes get info out to their members.

Thanks for writing in and best of luck!

Take care,
