| Other | Part III/Line 28 - In 2022, our fifth year of operation, the foundation's programmatic work was guided by the framework established by the restructuring initiated in the final quarter of 2021. Funding for the restructuring is provided for by a grant through the Cotyledon Fund. The foundation remained in alignment with the objectives of the restructuring through its continued administration of the WRF Resilience Fund (formerly the WRF COVID Response Fund) with a disbursement in the amount of $6,552. The foundation also maintained limited re-initiation of the Community Partners Program and the Indigenous Cultural Connections Program while continuing to assess and respond to changes in conditions and capacity, in order to incrementally develop new goals and objectives through this transition. These aspects of the foundation's work are reflected in a portion of CEO compensation allocated to the restructuring. *** To address the September 2021 cancellation of the NIAC Festival, the foundation applied a portion of this grant to hire an independent contractor whose aim was to continue building on relationships established in prior years, while also working to create new avenues of support and opportunity for contemporary Indigenous artists. By the close of 2022, this work resulted in multiple new relationships between contemporary Indigenous artists' groups and new institutional partners that resulted in significant accomplishments including: the creation of a travelling art show featuring the work of 15 contemporary Indigenous artists. This show had 4 exhibitions across Wyoming in 2022 and plans to travel nationally and internationally over the next five years. Additionally, notable progress was achieved in the development of institutional partnerships to produce an Indigenous Art Market in Jackson, Wyoming. The 2022 program expenditure for the restructuring was $10,198.34. *** In 2022, the Community Partners Program continued to provide peer support, linking and connections to a small number of tribal community leaders and the facilitation of donor directed, pass-through funding between a donor, the Kindle Project of the Common Counsel Foundation, and 2 tribal partner organizations, the Northern Arapaho White Buffalo Recovery Program ($10,000) and the Eastern Shoshone Recovery Program (newly re-named the Doya Natsu Healing Center) ($10,000). The foundation provided administrative facilitation of the funds, peer support to tribal community leaders, and collaborating to navigate grantor and other requests, which is accounted for in a subset of CEO compensation. *** Funding was utilized by Doya Natsu Healing Center to support recovery program services including: support for culturally grounded programming activities throughout the year such as drum making sessions and storytelling evenings; supplemental support to enhance women's programming such as Mother's Day activities including a talking circle and educational components addressing women's health and parenting; family programming such as hosting a Family Swim Day including the purchase of tickets and transportation for 80 participants; youth programming including co-hosting a youth Pow Wow with 105 participants; community based recovery activities such as hosting a recovery softball tournament; and supplementing National Recovery Month activities including a Community GONA event held over 4 days with an average attendance of 55 people each day. In addition, funding was also used to enhance outreach and community engagement such as co-sponsoring a teen basketball tournament with team awards including jacket, T-shirts, and other supplies for 18 teams over 3 days, and the purchase of T-shirts for National Recovery Month. White Buffalo Recovery Center utilized funding to support Native women in treatment services, including basic toiletries and household items. Items were provided for 16 women. Funding was also used to provide training for working with Native women to empower and motivate them with their recovery. Sessions were provided for 34 employees who were trained. Funding was also used to fund the Mending Broken Hearts curriculum which focuses on historical trauma and unresolved grief. Sessions were provided for 32 women community members. In 2022, this program expended $22,798.89. *** In 2022, the Indigenous Cultural Connections Program collaborated with the National Museum of Wildlife Art to host a museum First Sundays event called Making Marks. The foundation provided introductions, facilitation and funding for an Indigenous artist to share an art demonstration and educational presentation and for an Indigenous singer songwriter to perform. 360 people attended the event. Secondly, aligned with the restructuring goals the foundation aimed to provide connections, consultation, resources, and relationship brokering to support to a small number of nonprofits and organizations in Teton County. The foundation began planning a second collaboration with the National Museum of Wildlife Art for March of 2023. In 2022, this program expense was $9,026.99. |
