Community Relations and Innovation Fund

Opens Wednesday September 13, 2023 | Closes Tuesday October 31, 2023 at 11:59pm PST | Unrestricted Funding up to $10,000

In 2020, Potlatch Fund responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by simplifying our grant practices. While in the past, grantees had to apply under a specific granting opportunity such as: Healthy Pathways for Native Youth, Language Preservation, Community Building, Native Student Success, and Native Arts, we have now streamlined to one grant process that includes these and more. 

Our new grant, the Community Relations and Innovation Fund, continues to focus on ‘the people on the ground’ in Native communities who are committed to serving the needs of our community. Granting opportunities will be available as unrestricted funds up to $10,000. We seek applications that support (but not limited to) youth work, community building, arts/culture, language and education/advocacy and are open to Artists, Organizations or Tribal Entities that meet eligibility criteria below.
