Chamiza Foundation Grants
The Chamiza Foundation, New Mexico USA, invites grant proposals for programs that relate directly to some aspect of the preservation and/or continuity of the traditional New Mexico Pueblo culture - e.g. language, traditional arts and crafts, tribal history, agriculture, and youth education in traditions and elements of ceremonial life. The Foundation currently specially encourages the development of programs directed to youth education in cultural traditions, Pueblo history, and the inclusion of a language component as well as innovative uses of technology in those programs.
The grant awards range from $3,000 to $12,000.
Deadlines: March 1, 2011 and June 6, 2011
Eligible organisations include
· New Mexico's Pueblo Indian organizations and tribal governments.
• Community leaders, artists or other individuals within Pueblo communities.
• Non-pueblo organizations requesting support for programs serving the pueblos but not originated by these entities are also eligible but must submit written evidence that the community to be served by the program is requesting it, i.e. a letter from the Governor of the Pueblo.
