Awards are based on the availability of funds which are raised through direct mail appeals, voluntary contributions, testamentary bequests, and interest on investments.

Dakota Indian Foundation was recently awarded a grant from First Nation’s Development Institute to to support the establishment of the Ella Deloria Research Center.  Dakota Indian Foundation was able to employ Native American Youth Interns to digitize data for research purposes. Thank you to First Nations for your generous contribution!
