IEN-WMAN Mining Mini-Grant Program

June 1, 2026

Value

$4,000 USD grants

Description

The IEN-WMAN Mining Mini-Grant Program offers financial grant assistance to communities threatened or adversely affected by mining in the U.S. and Canada.

Eligible Applicants

Grant priorities will be acknowledged as follows:

  • Priority is given to Tribal/First Nations/Indigenous communities and non-profit community-based grassroots groups directly affected by mining. We strive to award at least half of our funding under this program to Indigenous-led organizations because mining has disproportionate impacts on Indigenous Peoples and their traditional lands.
  • Secondarily, we will fund proposals from regional or national organizations in the U.S. and Canada working on mining-specific issues.
  • Priority is given to applicants with an organizational or mining-specific program budget under $75,000 U.S.

Eligible Expenses

The IEN -WMAN Grassroots Communities Mining Mini-Grant Program distributes over $200,000 per year in $4,000 USD grants to Indigenous communities and non-profit grassroots organizations across the U.S. and Canada. Our goal is to give at least 50% of the Mini-Grants to Indigenous communities.

Deadline Date

June 1, 2026
