Wind River Foundation Inc

“Part III/Line 28 - In 2024, the Foundation focused on winding down all program and administrative services, a process that began in 2023. The Foundation made its eighth and final distribution of the WRF Resilience Fund (formerly the WRF COVID Response Fund) with a disbursement in the amount of $6,720.00. As in years past, these funds were made accessible to program leaders through pre-paid house accounts for 4 tribal programs: Eastern Shoshone Tribal Health (ESTH), Eastern Shoshone Recovery-Doya Natsu Healing Center (ESR-DNHC), Wind River Cares-Northern Arapaho Tribal Health Program (WRC) and White Buffalo Recovery-Northern Arapaho Recovery Program (WBR). ***** Reports of the use of these funds included ESTH providing 75 hams for families over the holidays and supplemental support for ongoing community events such as food for health fairs, first aid materials during pow wow, food for Halloween and Christmas events and support for travelling basketball teams. ESTH reports participation in each of the community events provided engagement with approximately 300-400 individuals. Funds were also made available to ESR-DNHC providing supplemental food and materials to support ongoing community prevention and recovery programs which include Mothers Day events, multiple sweats, cultural programs, outdoor activities, summer youth programs, an annual Family Swim Day and more. ESR-DNHC reports its programs and events reached 2,649 community members in 2023. WRC-WBR utilized funding to support its sober living transitional house with food, cleaning and other basic household items, which had 24 individuals residing in the facility in 2024. WRC-WBR also utilized funds to supplement food for monthly sweat lodge community events which include a shared meal among the attendees after the ceremony. WRC-WBR reports 780 community members were supported through the 28 sweat lodge ceremonies held. ***** In 2024, the Indigenous Cultural Connections Program completed its third collaboration with the National Museum of Wildlife Art to host a museum First Sundays event called Native Line + Rhythm. Originally scheduled for March 3, 2024, this event was rescheduled for April 7th 2024, due to a snowstorm resulting in road closure. As with previous years, the Foundation provided collaboration in introductions, facilitation and funding for the event with 360 public attendees. The event included an artist demonstration, drum group, dancers, crafts for children and an educational presentation. The Foundation secured a donor to work directly with the museum to cover a portion of the additional cost of rescheduling. Lastly, the CEO met with a small number of organization leaders in Teton County, intended to encourage continuation of program elements with alternative partners after the Foundation completes its winding down of program operations. This program expense was $8,641.97. ***** The Foundation made its final distribution of remaining funds through Community Partners Program grants to support general program services of the two Wind River Reservation recovery and prevention programs: Eastern Shoshone Recovery-Doya Natsu Healing Center (ESR-DNHC) and Wind River Cares-White Buffalo Recovery (WRC-WBR). The program expense for this final distribution was $8,000.00. The Foundation completed the final winding down of all program services in 2024.”
