Please Help us with our AIFEP GRANTS IMPACT STUDY

Tiwahe Foundation is embarking on an evaluation/impact study of the American Indian Family Empowerment Program! Over the next year, we’ll be working with a great team to study the grant-making program. We are looking to connect with grantees to collect stories of how the grant impacted their lives.

If you, or someone you know, was a grantee of the fund during the last 20 years, click this link to update us with your contact information.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
