seeking grant applicants

year and is now accepting grant applications through Dec. 15.
The board will finalize grant awards by Jan. 10 and applicants will
receive notification of their grant application status by Jan. 15.
This is the earliest the board has ever opened the grant cycle to al
low more time for grantees to complete their cultural projects since
final reporting is due to the Oregon State Cultural Trust each year
by Aug. 31.
Since 2009, when the Grand Ronde Cultural Trust Board started
giving cultural grants, it has funded individuals' participation in Tribal
Canoe Journey, sewing classes, moccasin making classes, an ethno
botany project, a Chinuk Wawa project, research for a book about
Tribal member families, camas digging, huckleberry picking, regalia
making, wood carving and other cultural projects.
Cultural Trust Board Chair Perri McDaniel and board member Kim
Contreras will facilitate a "How to Apply for a Grand Ronde Cultural
Trust Grant" workshop on Thursday, Nov. 15.
Attendees should bring their cultural project idea for a Cultural
Trust grant to the workshop to see if it is within the guidelines of the
grant making program.
To sign up for the workshop, send an e-mail to committee.culture
grandronde.org. Grant applications will be available at the front desk
of the Governance Center building or via e-mail upon request.
