The Alaska Native Arts Foundation (2002–present) is a non-profit organization formed to support the Alaska Native art community. Its mission is focused on the advancement of Indigenous art into global marketplaces to enhance economic development in the state of Alaska and create fairly-priced markets for Alaska Native art. The Foundation also seeks to provide general awareness and public education of Alaska's Indigenous cultures, and as a result offered programs to support Alaska Native artists and preserve cultural heritage. Funded by a combination of government grants and private funding in the form of donations from Alaska Native corporations, the organization distributed grant money through project support programs to provide in-residence art programs, educational programs for rural schools, funding for museum demonstrations, art workshops, and exhibitions and documentation of native artists' work.
