Always Choose Kinship. November 2020 Newsletter November is Native American Heritage Month and it is a time to honor and celebrate the strength, resiliency and kinship of our Native peoples and communities. This year, we want to reaffirm that our strength and resiliency as Indigenous people is rooted in the strength of our kinship relationships. Our relationships to one another, the land and all life will always be our greatest protection. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our tribal communities we want to remind everyone to continue to wear your mask, wash your hands, practice physical distancing, stay home (if you can), and to check in on your relatives. We are in this together! #AlwaysChooseKinship ‌ ‌ ‌ CSVANW Continues to Deliver PPEs to Tribal Communities and to CSVANW members With covid numbers on the rise, CSVANW is continuing social distancing practices to provide PPE to the Esperanza Shelter. Thank you members and advocates for following our new contactless pick up protocol for PPE. Thank you for all that you for our communities.

The Allstate Foundation will provide small, flexible grants to 100 culturally specific domestic violence organizations to offset hardships caused by the pandemic so programs can continue to respond to the urgent needs of survivors. Oversight and implementation of the small grants program will be provided by the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV). Following the completion of this program, The Allstate Foundation will have provided more than one million dollars in small grants to U.S. domestic violence organizations in response to COVID-19. For more information about this funding opportunity, click here. This opportunity is open to culturally specific domestic violence organizations based in the United States (including all states, territories, and tribal lands) serving racial or ethnic minority communities, whose budgets do not exceed $750,000 per year. Organizations will be selected based on their eligibility, demonstrated need for resources, and their ability to use funds to impact the greatest number of survivors of domestic violence. The application will be available through a SurveyMonkey link that can be accessed at SurveyMonkey.com/r/SmallGrantsOctober2020. Application deadline is November 10, 2020. Organizations that were previously awarded funds through the "Small Grants to Support Local Domestic Violence Organizations Impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic" funding opportunity in April and May 2020 are not eligible to re-apply. Organizations that previously applied but did not receive funding in April and May 2020 are eligible to re-apply, provided that they meet all applicable eligibility criteria.
