Tanka Fund Regrants

As part of its mission to return Buffalo to Native lands, lives and economies, Tanka Fund provides funding directly to its rancher partners to establish new Buffalo ranches or to support, expand, and sustain existing ranch operations.

In May alone, Tanka Fund granted $118,000 to 10 rancher partners. This is the first round of funding for 2024.

The Tanka Fund regranting program is a strategy to increase access to capital and animals for Native Buffalo caretakers. Tanka Fund also provides 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.
