Funding Categories 

 

The Grants-in-Aid Program provides financial support to organizations in two categories: Emergency and Annual Grants. Organizations requesting funds must indicate which category they are seeking consideration of funding.

 

Emergency RBCC Grant – Grants made in this category are intended for one-time requests for services or programs. Talon Tribe members or organizations receiving funding through this category will be required to provide a written report at the end of twelve months detailing the impact of the gift. Gifts made in this category typically range from $500 to $5,000 a year. Talon Tribe members or organizations may submit a new application every twelve months. 

 

Annual Grant - Typically, funding requests to this category support programs or services for a one-year period. Talon Tribe members or organizations receiving funding through this category will be required to provide an annual written report detailing the impact of the gift. Gifts and pledges made in this category typically range from $500 to $10,000. Talon Tribe members or organizations can reapply only after the Sustaining Funding has ended.
