2024 HEEF IMAGINE Grant Application Status: Closed

The Hopi Education Endowment Fund (HEEF) aims to support educational projects that are geared toward serving Hopi communities. In 2004, it was decided to create a funding source to assist organizations and their educational projects to ensure their effectiveness. Innovative, Motivating, Accessible, Grassroots, Inspiring, Non-Profit, and Everyone (IMAGINE) became the name of this special grant.

IMAGINE Grants are made available annually for local programs that serve Hopi community members in some educational and cultural capacity. The components that organizations integrate into their programming are Hopi Language and Culture, Capacity Building, Effectiveness, Transferability, and Sustainability. Since 2004, we have awarded almost $300,000 in IMAGINE Grants helping programs that were focused on the Hopi language, Hopi culture, agricultural practices, youth programs, elderly programs, sacred site preservation, etc. 

We are proud to support and provide funding to Hopi community project initiatives.
