Friends of The Piegan Institute
NORTHWEST AREA FOUNDATION
We fund champions of change who reflect the distinct cultural strengths of the eight states and 75 Native nations of our region. They work in diverse communities to help people build assets through good jobs and financial capability—so that they can establish good credit, launch small businesses and save for their futures. Together, these skills equip families to overcome crises today and begin to feel secure and hopeful about tomorrow.
The Grotto Foundations
The Grotto Foundation, formed to benefit society by improving the education and the economic, physical, and social well-being of citizens, with a special focus on families and culturally diverse groups. The Foundation is further interested in increasing public understanding of American cultural heritage, the cultures of nations, and the individual's responsibility to fellow human beings.
