Two Feathers Endowment Grants Program Deadline: June 1 & September 1, 2006 Email: dlk@saintpaulfoundation.org Website: http://www.saintpaulfoundation.org/st/twofeather/ The Two Feathers Endowment is specifically focused on the involvement of the Indian community. Its goal is to: provide a culturally sensitive, community responsive philanthropic vehicle for addressing the needs within the Indian communities of Minnesota by supporting artistic, educational, social, and cultural development activities. Involvement of Indian people in all phases of the philanthropic process is fundamental to the success of the Two Feathers Endowment. The following areas of funding priorities have been established: education, children and youth, elders, intergeneration, preservation of culture, and capacity building. Grants will be made to community-based, non-profit organizations within Minnesota that are also directed or managed by a majority of Indian people. Projects seeking modest support from The Two Feathers endowment to be used in conjunction with other funds or community service and labor will receive priority. The sponsor may consider requests for multiple years (two) of funding. Grants will be awarded up to $3,500. **************************************************************************************************
