Overview
The Intertribal Friendship House is the iconic hub for East Bay Native American peoples, serving as a nucleus for a broad suite of social services to the intertribal community. Its arts and cultural programming encompasses a broad array of practices, from instruction in drum and regalia making to training in traditional song and dance, highlighting the diversity of tribes that define the urban Native experience. Renewed support would enable the organization to focus on planning strategies to increase participation in traditional, cultural, and ceremonial programming; build more public awareness for its work and services; and improve its financial sustainability.

Grants to this Grantee
for sponsorship of CSLX funder convening
This grant will support a convening hosted by Community Schools Learning Exchange (CSLX): Staying the Course: Student Success in a Post-ESSER Landscape. (Strategy: K-12 Teaching and Learning)
for CSLX organization assessment, planning, and wellness
The Community Schools Learning Exchange (CSLX) supports stakeholders in implementing and refining whole-child community schools that leverage complementary whole-system efforts across the education and other child- and family-serving ecosystems. CSLX envisions community schools that are organized to create and sustain the optimal conditions for teaching and learning, are inclusive, equitable, student and family-centered, and are interconnected with the organizations and people within the communities they serve. This organizational effectiveness grant will support CSLX while they undergo organizational assessment and planning to highlight strengths and identify areas of opportunity and develop recommendations and tools to strengthen those areas. This will allow CSLX to refine their operating model and organizational structure, codify their practices, and ultimately develop a strategic plan that reflects their values and priorities in collaboration with the communities and stakeholders they work with. There is also an allocation in this grant for wellness in furtherance of the organization’s charitable purpose.
for Just Solutions Collective’s leadership recruitment and staff development
The Just Solutions Collective works to broaden and deepen the understanding and implementation of equitable and effective climate policies and programs at a scale and pace that match the urgency of the climate crisis. This organizational effectiveness grant will support a search for the organization's first Directors of Research and Policy, develop a more robust evaluation system, protocols, and templates that facilitate optimal leadership and professional development.
