Nákʷs! Hello!

Welcome to the Cowlitz Indian Tribal Foundation's application portal. Here you will be able to view and submit requests for partnerships and funding that pertain to your organization's work throughout our shared communities.

A NOTE TO OUR APPLICANTS

Since 2017, the Cowlitz Indian Tribal Foundation has awarded over $35 million to organizations in Washington, through the Clark County Fund and Statewide Fund. By cultivating community relationships, engaging in meaningful conversations about the future of our region, the Tribal Foundation can continue this important work to impact our shared communities to contribute to positive impacts on our future.

As a qualified applicant, you have the important opportunity to share what your organization does with the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. As a leader of your organization, you know the impact of your work better than anyone - so tell us. We want to hear details about your organization that aren't available on your website. We want to hear about your growth goals beyond your strategic plan. We want to know, authentically and honestly, which hurdles your organization faces and what you plan to do about it.

In an effort to invest in relationships that broaden the Tribe's reach, organizations that have been awarded funding from the Tribal Foundation have made an authentic effort to learn about the Cowlitz Indian Tribe; about the values, traditions, and cultural impacts of actions. These organizations have also actively sought out relationships with Tribal Members and Tribal Foundation leadership to better identify the ways we can make a collective impact on our shared communities.

Our reputation as one of the leading philanthropic organizations in the region is something we intend on maintaining and with your thoughtfulness and authenticity in this application process, we can work together to do so.

Náxʷɬqʷulʼas! Thank you!

Cowlitz Tribal Foundation

NEW FOR 2024

To make it simple, we've created a single, comprehensive form that will allow your application process to be as user-friendly as possible. Instead of two separate forms for our Statewide Fund and Clark County Fund, we've merged the form and based on some eligibility questions at the beginning, your organization will be filed into one of the available options.

FIRST-TIME APPLICANTS

Before you begin, please note you must meet or discuss your organization with a Cowlitz Tribal Foundation team member prior to applying for funding. To schedule a meeting with the Cowlitz Tribal Foundation team, please email TribalFoundation@Cowlitz.org.
