Description
The Responsive Grants under the Indigenous Knowledge Program of the Henry Luce Foundation are designed to support Indigenous knowledge leaders, makers, and organizations in the United States. The program aims to strengthen the human and cultural resources necessary for Native America to thrive, deepen networks of knowledge creators and leaders, and address the historical exclusion of Indigenous knowledge from institutional settings. Grants support community-led spaces where Indigenous knowledge is created and perpetuated, and seek to amplify Native voices in policy and philanthropy.
