Include the following elements:
-
Summary of the proposed project.
-
Problem or need addressed by the project, including a description of the indigenous people(s) who will benefit. Please include an estimate of the number of people who will benefit as well.

Please note that the Directors of the AMB Foundation look for projects that provide the most direct benefit to Native and indigenous Americans. Proposals for support of organizational operating expenses, administrative costs, university overhead or indirect costs, travel expenses (except those integral to a project’s execution), feasibility studies, meetings, or conferences are almost never funded.
AMB awards generally fall in the range of $1,000 to $10,000.
