| Potlatch
Fund’s Mission is to inspire the native
tradition of giving in Northwest Indian Country
to promote economic development, natural resource
protection, education, cultural preservation,
civic participation, and the overall health
of native people and their communities.
The name, Potlatch Fund, reflects a Northwest
coastal tribal traditional ceremony and
in the Chinook language Potlatch means to
give or a gift. Historically potlatches
were occasions when individuals shared their
good fortune through the distribution of
gifts to members of their tribes as well
as those of neighboring tribes.

National
Funding Opportunities! |
| |
|
The
Center for Native Education is
currently accepting concept papers from secondary
and postsecondary schools, tribes and/or urban Indian
organizations to join the Early Colleges for Native
Youth consortium of schools. Funding is
available.
The
Center serves as an intermediary between the Bill
& Melinda Gates Foundation and Indian Country,
making grants of up to a half a million dollars
to communities who want to create an Early College
High School . Early Colleges are high schools
where students can earn their high school diploma
and up to two years of college credit simultaneously.
To
date, the Center serves 11 schools in Alaska ,
Washington , Oregon and California . Because of
the overwhelming success of these Early College
High Schools, we received additional funding to
make the initiative national in its scope.
To
sum this up, I'm asking for your help in spreading
the word that grants ranging from $325,000 to
$525,000 are available to help create new charter
or tribal schools or convert existing schools
to fit the Early College model. We've got the
grants, but we need your help in finding applicants.
More
information can be found at: http://www.antiochseattle.edu/about/cne/index.html,
or
email me at nadams@antiochseattle.edu
Any help you can give in spreading the word is
greatly appreciated.
Best,
Nicole Adams, Director, Center for Native Education
