Grant Opportunities for Native Organizations in Humboldt County

Native Cultures Fund
Deadline: August 2, 2004

The Native Cultures Fund, a program of the Humboldt Area Foundation, has
two grant programs—Fellowships for Cultural Participation and Native
Community Technology Initiative. The former provides grants to Native
individuals and organizations for theater production, script
development, the training of apprentices to learn cultural skills and
traditional arts, the creation of contemporary visual arts and
exhibitions as well as the building of traditional dance houses. Grants
range from $5,000—$10,000.

The Native Community Technology Initiative provides technology and
training grants to Native organizations for education and advocacy.
Advocacy grants support the use of technology as a tool in protecting
sacred sites and river systems. Education grants support the creation
of digital cultural curriculum based on Native languages as well as the
exploration of digital arts forms including storytelling. Grants range
from $5,000—$15,000.
