Eligible expenses may include staff and board training; travel and conferences; consultant hiring; strategic planning; leadership training; organizational or systems audits; or other efforts that help make nonprofits more efficient and viable for the long term.
"Grants cannot fund political activities, religious propagation, discriminatory practices, past operating debts or similar activities," the release said.

The typical grant award is $2,500. However, grants up to $5,000 will be reviewed and considered.
The grant is available to 501(c)3 nonprofits that serve NWMF's region, including Red Lake Nation, White Earth Nation and the 12 counties of Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake Falls and Roseau.
