First Nations Development Institute is encouraging §7871 organizations to apply to be a part of a new grant program and research initiative. Grants of $5,000 to $10,000 will be given to §7871 organizations selected to participate in the study.

Generally, private foundations and public charities fall under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. For Tribal Governments, however, the Indian Tribal Governmental Tax Status Act of 1982 supported Indian nations in establishing, regulating and controlling philanthropic activities within their communities under the leadership of the Tribal Government.
