A Journey To What Matters: Increased Alaska Native Art & Culture Project Grants

About this program

The CIRI Foundation offers grant funding through its "A Journey To What Matters: Increased Alaska Native Art & Culture Project Grants" initiative to support Alaska Native arts, cultural heritage, and education. The grants are divided into two programs: Heritage Project Grants and Journey to What Matters Grants, both aimed at preserving and promoting Alaska Native traditions and knowledge. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (501(c)(3) public charities), tribal organizations in Alaska, and nonprofit or tribal entities sponsoring Alaska Native individuals. Projects must directly benefit CIRI shareholders, descendants, or the broader Alaska Native community, depending on the specific grant program.
