Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must meet the minimum requirements to be considered for this grant opportunity:
- This grant exclusively funds and supports organizations and programs working in American Indian urban communities to develop and implement strategies targeted to their communities. This philosophy is based on the principle of self-determination – that change must come from within communities and build on community strengths and social and human capital.
- MDH recognizes the sovereignty of Tribal Nations. MDH will only fund non-tribal-led projects in tribal communities if the applicant has full support of the tribal government. If a non-tribal applicant proposes to work with a tribal government or tribal community, the applicant must be prepared to provide written verification that the tribal government approves of the project before a grant agreement can be made final. Written verification will be requested at the time an award is offered.
- Eligible applicants may include, but are not limited to, nonprofit community-based organizations, Tribal governments, public health departments, faith-based organizations, social service organizations, Tribal governments, community health boards (CHBs) and community clinics advancing health equity in their communities or within their region within the state of Minnesota.
- Eligible applicants must be registered with the Minnesota Secretary of State and not suspended or debarred by the State or the Federal Government.
- Applicants must be located in and conduct grant activities in the state of Minnesota, but fiscal agents may be located outside of Minnesota. Eligible applicants who wish to work together but have not formed a legal partnership must designate one organization as a fiscal agent.
