Does our Board of Directors have to be 100% Native American?
Question
Does our Board of Directors have to be 100% Native American/ Alaskan Native to receive a grant from the Administration for Native Americans (ANA)?
Answer
If the applicant, other than a Tribe or an AlaskaNativeVillagegovernment, is proposing a project benefiting Native Americans, Alaska Natives, or both, it must provide assurance that the duly elected or appointed board of directors is representative of the community to be served. An applicant's governing board will be considered representative of the community to be served if the applicant demonstrates that at least a majority of the board individuals fall into one or more of the following categories: (1) a current or past member of the community to be served; (2) a prospective participant or beneficiary of the project to be funded; (3) have experience working with the community to be served; or (4) have a cultural relationship with the community to be served.
