Happy Pride! 🌈

We honor and celebrate our Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ relatives today and every day. Thank you for sharing your gifts, your leadership, and your joy with our communities.

With gratitude and pride,
Potlatch Fund ❤️

Today we honor Juneteenth and celebrate freedom, resilience, and liberation. We recognize and uplift our Black and Afro-Indigenous relatives whose leadership, creativity, and care continue to strengthen and nourish our communities.

Potlatch Fund celebrates one of our grantees, Harry Hayes Slickpoo Jr. (Nez Perce/Nimiipuu), for recently presenting Nimiipuu place names entirely in Nimiipuutímt at a community gathering held June 12 in Kamiah, Idaho.

Rebecca Miles of Potlatch Fund (Nez Perce/Nimiipuu) attended and reflected: I am proud that the gifts we can give support such profound work for our people. Harry has spent his life learning and preserving the language and ensuring it continues to live on. The language must be spoken. Our land defines who we are.

We are grateful that Potlatch gifts can help support the people carrying language forward and keeping those connections alive for future generations.

This , we celebrate the power of Native-led organizations and communities that continue the tradition of giving, care, and collective responsibility.

Did you know that only 0.25% of philanthropic funding from large foundations goes to Native-led nonprofits? Yet Native communities continue creating powerful impact through relationship, culture, and community-rooted solutions.

At Potlatch Fund, we believe in investing in Native communities and uplifting Indigenous leadership across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska. Through the cultural tradition of giving, we support Native-led efforts that strengthen communities today and for future generations.Will you uplift our work by sharing our story or making a donation today?

Potlatch Makes Possible 💙

Wow, what a month April was for Potlatch Fund!

From our Potlatch Makes Possible gathering at the Burke Museum, to attending the Native American Philanthropy Conference and co-hosting Rooted in Kinship alongside Na’ah Illahee Fund, this month was full of storytelling, connection, community care, and gathering in good ways.

We also wrapped up our Winter Gift Cycle, distributing 93 gifts supporting Native individuals, tribes, and organizations across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska.

To close out the month, we gathered with our board here in Seattle to reflect, plan, and continue carrying the work forward together.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who shared space with us this month — artists, gift recipients, partners, vendors, community members, and supporters who continue helping make this work possible.

Potlatch Makes Possible.

Special thanks to Burke Museum, Off the Rez, Na’ah Illahee Fund, Succ2Byou, 4 Little Wings, Ellen Ferguson, Made by Amber Stephens, Kaigani Craft, Tio’s Tacos, and all of the wonderful artists and community members who helped make these gatherings so meaningful.

Thank you all who supported us yesterday with Washington's campaign! We are so grateful to have you in our community! We have had an amazing past 30 days as an organization. We can't do this work without you and we are so happy to be in community with you! Thank you!!

🟥 May 5 – National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women ( )

Today we honor and remember our relatives who are missing or have been taken too soon. We stand with families and communities seeking justice, healing, and change.

The red handprint has become a powerful symbol—representing the voices that are no longer heard and the ongoing need for awareness and action.
Together, we raise our voices, remember their stories, and advocate for a safer future.
