Young Native Leaders Tackle Food Insecurity with $720K in New Philanthropic Initiative

Young Native Americans are combatting food insecurity in tribal communities, leveraging a $720,000 philanthropic initiative from Newmans Own Foundation and Novo Nordisk.

• Twenty-one emerging leaders from the Indigenous peoples of the Americas have created selection criteria to distribute $720,000 aimed at improving food security in tribal areas.
• The initiative, supported by Philanthropy organizations, selected 24 finalists from various applicants to receive funding, directly engaging Native Americans in the United States in the decision-making process.
• This funding initiative, organized by Native Americans in Philanthropy, addresses the persistent issue of food insecurity, which disproportionately affects the Indigenous peoples of the Americas.
