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!

9th Annual Native Youth Summit |
|
The 9th Annual Native Youth Summit is a series of 1 hour workshops over 4 days and is a powerful leadership development experience that connects, challenges, and cultivates a cohort of 10 Native youth ranging in age from 13 to 17 years old from across the state of New Mexico. Our theme for the summit is Black and Indigenous Solidarity and it will focus on self-awareness and land to strengthen our Tribal communities through the following learning opportunities:
- Encourage Native youth to work towards strengthening their voice;
- Building our Native youth knowledge on the basics of violence prevention so they may share with their relatives in their territories; and,
- Support Native youth in their building of knowledge to eliminate violence against all of our relatives.

FW: Funding Opportunity from The Allstate Foundation: Emergency Small Grants to Culturally Specific DV Orgs
This information is being forwarded from the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV)
To help address the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on survivors of color, particularly the ongoing economic challenges, The Allstate Foundation is providing $500,000 to help support domestic violence organizations and the survivors they serve. 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.
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.
|
|
Thank you to The Allstate Foundation for providing these rapid relief funds to the field.
