DONATIONS REQUESTED Grand Ronde Language Education Building Project Funding obtained to date: HUD ICDBG $500,000 HUD IHBG $167,000 BIA $70,000 $737,000 The Tribe is pursuing a new language building on the Tribal campus. While our current grant funding is for K-4, a larger building could serve both younger and older children. The new building would allow the Tribe to move the Lilu preschool class out of the rented modular classroom and give them room for more children. The Tribe is reaching out to different foundations to help fund this endeavor. Foundations may contribute to the project but they want to see local community participation before they do. The Tribe would love to show these foundations how much the tribal community supports this effort through its willingness to donate. Please consider donating $1, $5, $10 or $20 to help give our students the space and the classrooms that they need. While a dollar here and there adds up, it also gives us a list of people who have donated and helps demonstrate our community support for the project. Donations can be made by sending a check to the Tribe’s Finance Department. The check should be made out to the “Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Tribe” with “for Language Bldg” specified on the notes line. Donations can be mailed to the Finance Department, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, 9615 Grand Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, OR 97347. For more information please call Angela Fasana, Education Department manager, at 503-879-2284.
