Gala
Among Northwest Coast tribes, a potlatch is a coming together in ceremony, celebration, sharing, and giving. Potlatch Fund honors these traditional values and is dedicated to inspiring the Native tradition of giving by expanding philanthropy within Tribal Nations and communities in the Northwest. The Potlatch Fund’s Annual Gala is our major fundraising event and brings together people from many different tribes, organizations, corporations, and communities.
