Our Voices, 1,000 Ways to Fight Abuse in Indian Communities Campaign
The National Society for American Indian Elderly is a Native 501 (c) (3); we were established in 1987, in order to improve the conditions for American Indian Elders.

These grants are made possible through the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). The NSAIE will distribute grants in 100 communities to help fight abuse in Indian communities. Projects in large service areas may be eligible for funding in more than one community.

Choose one issue area related to one of these topics: drug abuse (including methamphetamines), alcohol misuse and abuse, domestic violence, elder abuse (includes financial abuse, physical abuse or emotional abuse) and suicide prevention.

The topic area should address the most pressing needs in your community. These grants are intended to provide seed money for community outreach projects. The funding is flexible, and is intended to develop creative solutions at a grassroots level for addressing problems in communities.

All grants will be directed towards Tribes, Tribal agencies and non-profits currently working on reservations, in Indian communities or working with significant urban Indian populations.

Purpose
The purpose of this funding is to award grants to fund community outreach efforts. Grants are awarded at $1000 per community. For large service areas with multiple communities, funding may be awarded for more than one community or for multiple communities within the same application. For requests that include multiple communities, funding for a maximum of five communities will be considered.

This application form should include information about your community, the area of focus and the methods of education and outreach efforts to be utilized.
