First Nations expects to award 10 to 12 grants averaging $40,000 to California-based tribes or tribally-controlled non-profit organizations as they work toward building a statewide movement that will fulfill a vision of California Native communities and food systems that are self-directed, well-resourced, and supported by community policies and systems.
