The Going Home Fund facilitates the return or long-term loan of culturally significant materials to Indigenous cultural entities worldwide. This form is for use by Indigenous communities seeking support. Eligible expenses include insurance, packaging, shipping, and other costs associated with the return. 

You may request funding for the return of multiple items from the same institution. However, if you are seeking the return of items from multiple institutions, a new form must be submitted for each institution.

The Going Home Fund Advisory Council meets on or around the 15th day of each month to review requests and make awards. You will be notified by email as to the status of your request.

The Going Home Fund is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Henry Luce Foundation, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, and hundreds of individual donors.
