About The CIRI Foundation
The CIRI Foundation was established in 1982 by Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI). The mission of The CIRI
Foundation (TCF) is to promote individual self-development and economic self-sufficiency through
education and to maintain pride in culture and heritage among Alaska Natives.
The primary goal of TCF is to promote the educational and career development of Cook Inlet Region, Inc.’s
original enrollees and descendants through post-secondary education scholarships and grants, research
and other related educational programs.
The second goal of TCF is to perpetuate the cultural heritage of Alaska Native peoples through programs
and Projects that will enhance appreciation and understanding of Alaska Native cultures among all people.
The CIRI Foundation is an Indigenous led organization that believes in Indigenous values. We want to
help Alaska’s communities thrive. Please let us know how we can support you in this process.
A Journey to What Matters: Increased Alaska Native Art & Culture Grant
The heritage of Alaska’s indigenous people – Yup’ik, Inupiat, Aleut/Alutiiq, Athabascan, Tlingit, Haida, and
Tsimshian – is rich in diversity and represents traditions that span more than 12,000 years of history.
In order to perpetuate and promote the artistic and cultural traditions of Alaska Native peoples, The CIRI
Foundation developed the A Journey to What Matters: Increased Alaska Native Art & Culture (JWM) grant.
Please note that the JWM grant is focused on supporting tangible Alaska Native art traditions. While
language acquisition, storytelling, dance and theater arts may be part of a proposed Project, JWM grant
funds focus on tangible arts. If you have questions about whether a proposed Project fits within the
definition of “tangible” arts, please contact TCF for clarification.
If you have any questions about filling out the application form or submitting a project
grant proposal for consideration, please contact TCF anytime.
