U.S. foundation support benefiting Native Americans declined from 0.5 percent to 0.3 percent of total foundation giving. According to Foundation Funding for Native American Issues and Peoples, released by Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP) and the Foundation Center, total grant dollars targeting Native Americans dropped 30.8 percent in the last year, compared to a 12.4 percent overall downturn in foundation giving.
“Only a small number of U.S. foundations target funding for the direct benefit of Native Americans,” said Steven Lawrence, director of research at the Foundation Center. “This report documents the current reality and offers specific ways that other grantmakers might become engaged.”

A year after the country’s largest environmental disaster the regulatory landscape of oil and gas has still not changed. The BP Deepwater drilling disaster should be a wake-up call to get America beyond oil, and it’s up to us to make it happen.
On June 25 at 12:00, people of the world will have an opportunity to join hands and draw a line in the sand against expanding offshore oil drilling while championing clean energy. Join hands in Anchorage to end our dependence on oil and coal to embrace a clean energy future.
You’re invited…
What: Hands Across the Sand – Gathering, BBQ, bikes, and fun! BBQ and info booths throughout!
Where: Point Woronzof
When: Saturday, June 25th at 11am – 1pm
In response to high gas prices, some government leaders have aggressively been pushing new off shore oil and gas drilling, in the Gulf, Arctic, and everywhere else. Oil and Coal are the largest polluters threatening the quality of air we breathe, the water that we drink and the food we eat. We need to say no to offshore oil drilling and yes to clean energy to protect our futures.
This movement is about embracing energy sources that will sustain our planet. It’s about protecting our coastal economies, oceans, marine fisheries and wildlife, and cultures. Gather with fellow Alaskans for a clean energy future!
