Page 3 July 16, 2 0 0 9 Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon Tribes receive $250,000 prevention grant about a month, a very short time for producing a $250,000 grant application. Cruz took the lead in produc ing the application, and the tribes learned recendy that the application was successful. With the money, Cruz said, the tribes can fund two posi tions, a methamphetamine pre vention position, and a mental health position to work on sui- Caroline Cruz had been gen eral manager of tribal Human Services for a very short time when she learned that a large g ra n t—-in the am ount o f $250,000— could be available to the tribes. The money could fund a two- year methamphetamine-suicide prevention program. The problem was that the grant application was due within cide prevention. Learning that the grant appli cation had been approved, she said, was great news, especially since the tribes will face budget constraints going into 2010. The methamphetamine-sui cide prevention grant is a good example o f the grant money th at can be available to the tribes. T h e d ep artm en ts in her branch, she said, rely a great deal on grants and other outside funding, and use a relatively small percentage o f tribal gen eral fund dollars. She estimated that at least $1.5 million o f her overall H u m an Services budget comes from outside. And there may be more grants out there that the tribes could access, she said. .)
