The Chahta Foundation works to empower the next generation with information through education. Every project is designed to produce high-impact initiatives that bring positive change to the Choctaw community. And every initiative is designed to both educate and evolve with our people to improve the overall well-being of Choctaw Nation citizens. Inspired by the constant evolution and determination of the Choctaw people, we work to keep tradition and knowledge flowing through impactful initiatives, including financial aid.
