CFDA#:

OBJECTIVES: The program is designed to support previous year
Community Spirit Award recipients allowing them to commit more time in
teaching and sharing their ancestral knowledge and practices with
others who want to learn. The grant program aids artists in developing
local networks for leveraging other resources and provides technical
assistance and capacity building support as needed by the master
artist/teacher. First Peoples Fund is interested in Cultural Capital
projects that will impact the next generation through reciprocity and
community spirit. Examples of this include passing on knowledge as
mentors and leaders; documentation for the next seven generations to
access this knowledge; and artists as cultural resources.

ELIGIBILITY

Spirit Award recipient, a Community Spirit Award nominee finalist, or

from the Great Lakes Region of Minnesota, Michigan, or Wisconsin; a

Nations artist applicants are eligible.
