About First Peoples Fund
First Peoples Fund is a non-profit, American Indian-owned corporate entity based in Rapid City, South Dakota, registered in SAM.gov since 2007. The organization is dedicated to supporting Native American artists, communities, and cultural preservation through targeted arts and community development programs. As a tax-exempt organization classified as a community development corporation, First Peoples Fund primarily engages with federal agencies through project grants that focus on cultural, artistic, and community-centered initiatives for Native American populations, particularly the Oglala Lakota community.
The organization has received multiple federal grant awards from agencies such as the National Endowment for the Arts and the Administration for Native Americans, focusing on a diverse range of culturally responsive programs. These grants have supported initiatives including traditional Lakota music instruction for youth, artist residency programs on the Pine Ridge Reservation, poetry festivals for emerging artists, COVID-19 pandemic recovery support, and the development of Lakota culture-centered landscape design curricula. A significant $900,000 three-year grant from the Administration for Native Americans will enable the expansion of arts and culture resources for the Oglala Lakota creative community. Additionally, First Peoples Fund has engaged in a sub-grant partnership with South Arts, Inc. to conduct programmatic assessments and develop data collection tools, demonstrating their commitment to comprehensive community support and programmatic evaluation.
