The Alaska Native Arts Foundation (in operation 2002-2016) is a non-profit organization established to support the Alaska Native art community. Its mission is focused on economic development to create a low-cost market for Alaska Native art as well as to provide public awareness and public education of Alaska's indigenous culture, and as a result offer programs to support Alaska Native artists. Funded by a combination of government grants and private funding in the form of donations from Native Alaska corporations, the organization distributes grants through project support programs to provide residential art programs, educational programs for rural schools, funding for museum demonstrations, art workshops and exhibitions and documentation of original artwork.

Closure
The foundation was dissolved in the spring of 2016 as a result of the loss of state funds and low markup on sold art. At closing time, the Foundation's gallery stock is made available for personal sales, and the service is phased out to accommodate future marketing efforts. When the operation stops, the Foundation seeks to distribute intellectual property and valuables to other organizations.
