HO'OMAU - A Resilience Fund For Native Artists & Cultural Practitioners

by First Peoples Fund

If you are a cultural practitioner with a native tribal affiliation and in need of financial assistance, fill out the application and Ke Kukui Foundation will get back to you after a review. Deadline for your completed application is December 7th, 2020. 

At this time we do not have enough funding to compensate artists for potential/future income loss. If you have not yet experienced an impact on your income, please help us prioritize those who are experiencing immediate needs. Please limit your request to $1,000.

*Artists may need to claim the funding as income; please consult with a tax expert. Four Bands Community Fund is required to provide 1099 reporting for funding over $600.
