The Going Home Fund facilitates the return or long-term loan of culturally significant materials to USA-based tribal cultural entities. This funding request form is for use by Native communities seeking the return or loan of items. 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 make awards. You will be notified by email as to the status of your request.

The Going Home Fund is supported through a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
