The Indian Land Tenure Foundation, which works to assist Indian nations and people in the recovery and control of their rightful homelands, is accepting proposals for grants to Indian nations and nonprofit organizations that work with Indian nations on land acquisition and utilization for the purposes of economic development.

ILTF will fund programs that are successful at acquiring land for Indian nations specifically for economic development and that are successful at utilizing lands of Indian nations for economic development purposes. ILTF is specifically looking for tribal nations and community organizations that have developed new and effective approaches to addressing challenges in their own communities.

Eligible applicants will be Indian nations that have gone through the allotment process and are in low-income rural areas. Nonprofit organizations that work with eligible Indian nations on land acquisition and utilization for the purposes of economic development are also eligible and are encouraged to apply. Successful applicants must have a track record of land acquisition and economic development that is clearly identifiable or have a well-developed strategy for land acquisition and utilization that is grounded in solid theory and research and has a high likelihood of success.

Grantees will be required to match the ILTF grant on a dollar-for-dollar basis and to develop plans to sustain the initiative after the grant period ends. The foundation seeks grantees that can take their models of success and help other Indian nations replicate that success.
