Applications are now open for the Native Cultures Fund Grants Program to support artists, culture bearers, and educators from the Tolowa/Dee-ni’ Nation peoples near the Oregon border, inland to the Paiute and Shoshone Nations along the Nevada border, and south to the Chumash peoples of the Santa Barbara area.
The Native Cultures Fund serves the area from the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation in the north, to the Paiute Nations to the east and down to Chumash territory in the south.
Grants are not made to support capacity of large organizations, for economic development, or for projects not rooted in California tribal cultures.
