The mission of The CIRI Foundation is to promote individual
self-development and economic self-sufficiency through education and maintain pride in culture and heritage among Alaska Natives who are original enrollees of
Cook Inlet Region and their descendants.
The CIRI Foundation also administers a variety of
village and tribal scholarships and grants.

Project Grant Funding Opportunities
Start with the goals of each program, and consider whether your project will impact the beneficiaries of The CIRI Foundation (CIRI original enrollees and their direct lineal descendants) or Alaska Native people
more generally.
Your organization may be eligible to apply for more than one grant program.
The Alaska State Council on the Arts, in partnership with The CIRI Foundation, is pleased to provide the Alaska Native Artist Resource Workbook to assist Alaska Native artists in furthering their artistic careers. Please contact ASCA for more information about the workbook and upcoming artists professional development workshops scheduled across the state.
The purpose of this Grant Writing Handbook is to offer suggestions and clarify the process of writing a grant proposal for arts funding. It is adapted from the First Peoples’ Cultural Council of British Columbia to provide information and resources specific to Alaskan artists. We are grateful for this partnership enabling us to increase our resources to perpetuate and promote the unique artistic and cultural traditions of Alaska Native peoples!
