Please enjoy this brief overview of some of the impressive projects undertaken by our Grantee Partners with funding from our Resiliency Fund.
In 2021, Potlatch Fund launched a new initiative—the Resiliency Fund—in order to keep moving resources as quickly as possible to our Native families.
Our intention with the Resiliency Fund was to supply much-needed funding to individuals and organizations on the ground in hard-hit communities. But it was also to learn about the depth of the needs that continue to go unmet in Indian Country.
Almost overnight, applications flooded into our office from all over our four-state service area. And many of them were from first-time applicants. They shared their struggles with us. They told us about their dreams and their plans and their hopes for the future.
So far, we’ve been able to provide over $1 million of funding to Native communities through the Resiliency Fund.
