As of June 6, 2019, The CIRI Foundation has officially moved into our new permanent space at the Calais I building, 3201 C Street, Suite 506, Anchorage, AK 99503.
Our office is coming together! We have 6 active phone lines and 2 student stations set up, so our team is ready to assist with any questions you may have.
We thank everyone for your patience and understanding during the past 6 months while we were in cozy quarters working away to serve our people! Come see us in our new office home sometime!
This huge booklet contains information from selecting a school to finding an internship. It also includes hundreds of scholarship opportunities across many disciplines- the focus is on Native students, so you do not need to be affiliated with CIRI to benefit from this book.
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.
As of July 15, 2019, ASCA has been defunded. Please check with the State of Alaska to determine the status of ASCA.
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!
