Wind River Foundation Inc

“(continued) through the volunteer labor of the Board of Directors and the Co-founder and CEO. One of the goals of the Board of Directors for 2019 was to increase organizational capacity. To that end, in December of 2018, we raised $35,000 through the contribution of one of our Co-founders toward hiring an independent nonprofit consultant from January through July 2019. While maintaining the volunteer hours performed by the Co-Founder and CEO established in 2017-2018, the independent contractor set up the systems and access required to secure federal grant funding, expanding our capacity to serve our tribal partners, as requested by them. Together with two of our tribal community partner programs, we drafted our first multi partner SAMSHA grant proposal. Our tribal partner programs on this project ultimately determined to wait on pursuing program execution. However, the Foundation developed the capacity and experience to be an effective partner to tribal programs in this arena. Alongside this work and our volunteer hours, the Foundation developed draft policies and manuals as well as upgraded our accounting systems during this time. In June of 2019, the Board of Directors initiated the next element of our strategic growth, prioritizing the launch of an annual event in Jackson Hole, with the goal of hosting a celebration that would bring cultural awareness, education and authentic indigenous presence to the greater Jackson Hole community. For our first annual Northern Indigenous Arts and Cultures Festival (NIAC Festival), we were honored to have Jay Harjo, the first indigenous US Poet Laureate agree to be our Keynote speaker for our three day celebration. The NIAC Festival would feature speakers, films, cultural presentations and contemporary northern indigenous artists. Given the potential magnitude and interest generated by this event, in September 2019, the Foundation began devoting the majority of our organizational resources to its planning, scheduled for May 28th-31st, 2020. We hired an event planner and shifted most of our volunteer hours to preparing for this program. In addition to being awarded our first major state and local grants for this event, the Foundation made a commitment to invest in additional event related branding materials with a $10,000 donor directed contribution made through one of our Co-founders. From the perspective of early 2020, the Foundation enjoyed an enormously successful and productive year in 2019, in terms of organizational growth, the development of our community partner program, expanding our internal capacity and our organizational recognition within the larger local, state and national arenas.”
