Thank you to our supporters

We humbly acknowledge that none of our 2023 accomplishments would be possible without the support of our many partner funders and direct donors, including:

The Nature Conservancy (TNC), who, through their Buffalo Restoration Project, provided their surplus animals to us for re-granting to our rancher families, some who have never had buffalo on their lands prior to the release. This is the largest release for Tanka Fund producers in the three years we have worked with TNC. Learn more at nature.org.

Bush Foundation, who has worked with Tanka Fund since 2021, helps us make grants to producers, increase our capacity building and to provide opportunities to promote sustainable land management and production to grow Native economies. Learn more at bushfoundation.org

Northwest Area Foundation is one of Tanka Fund’s original funding partners. They support our Returns Fund producer grants, our efforts to create economic opportunities for producers and our ability to tell our stories effectively. Learn more  at nwaf.org.

The three organizations listed above are part of a larger network of supporters and funders that we are grateful to partner with, including Butcher Box, Native American Agriculture Fund, Cedar Tree Foundation, The Builders Initiative, National Philanthropic Fund, The Peace Development Fund, Ceres Trust, Windrose Fund and First Nations Development Institute.

We are also incredibly grateful to the many individual anonymous and direct donors who supported our mission directly through matching funds, contributions on tankafund.org and sharing about Tanka Fund to friends, family and social media.
