The organization must be Native led and serve Northwest Natives.  

The organization must be located in the Washington, Oregon, Idaho or Montana.

Organizations may only receive funding for one Potlatch Fund grant per calendar year.  

Applications from different departments, from within a Tribe, will be reviewed as separate organizations. Please note: We do not retroactively fund project work.
