First Nations Development Institute

In recognition of our work in philanthropy, in 2007, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded First Nations the prestigious National Leadership in Action Award. The award recognizes excellent philanthropic work being done by nonprofit organizations in communities of color. First Nations was selected for its work in assisting Native peoples in controlling their own assets and building capacity to direct their economic futures in ways that fit their cultures; using tools of direct financial and technical assistance. Award winners were peer-nominated and screened by a committee of nonprofit and philanthropic leaders from across the United States.
