GRANTMAKING

Tanka Fund provides funding directly to Native ranchers to establish new Buffalo ranches or to support, expand, and sustain existing ranch operations.

Our regranting program is a strategy to increase access to capital and animals for Native Buffalo caretakers.

Tanka Fund also provides direct grant funding in order to assist with the infrastructure-building needs of ranch operations.

Funds can be used for equipment, fencing, feed, hay, soil testing, or any other function related to daily operations. 

“We want to help them grow and emerge and become sustainable… in the work that they love.”

Arnell Abold, Tanka Fund
