About Inter Tribal Council of Arizona
Inter Tribal Council of Arizona Inc. operates as a pass-through funder for tribal priorities, with its recent grant list dominated by large grants to member tribes and tribal partners across Arizona and nearby tribal communities. The biggest award in the file is $2,103,755 to Shoshone Piaute Tribe for passthru grant assistance, followed by $1,006,481 to Gila River Indian Community, showing a model built around moving substantial funds to project intermediaries and tribal governments rather than making small awards to individuals. The foundation’s mission is to provide its member tribes with a united voice and the means for united action on matters that affect them collectively or individually. That mission appears in grantmaking that consistently supports tribal administration, community priorities, and restricted disbursements. In the recent grants, Washoe Tribe received $810,081 and Pascua Yaqui Tribe received $724,627, both labeled passthru grant assistance. Other awards reach Cocopah Indian Tribe, San Carlos Apache Tribe, Tonto Apache Tribe, Yavapai Apache Nation, White Mountain Apache Tribe, and Colorado River Indian Tribes, indicating a funding pattern centered on tribal entities and fiscal support for locally determined work.
What Inter Tribal Council of Arizona Funds
A core thread in the foundation’s grantmaking is tribal administration and fiscal support. Recent examples include $654,466 to Cocopah Indian Tribe for passthru grant assistance and $556,701 to Tonto Apache Tribe for the same purpose, both of which point to project-specific disbursement through tribal entities. The foundation also funds workforce development. Its Workforce, Employment & Training program is listed as supporting workforce development, job training, employment services, and capacity building for Native communities, with geography limited to Arizona and Tribal Nations in Arizona. Community development and cultural work appear in the Arizona Inter-Tribal Trust Fund, which is described as supporting tribal priorities, projects, and beneficiaries across member tribes. The recent grants also include awards to White Mountain Apache Tribe and Yavapai Apache Nation, reinforcing that the funder works through tribal governments and tribal-serving organizations rather than individual recipients.
How Inter Tribal Council of Arizona Gives
Typical grants are substantial: the 25th percentile is $70,894, the median is $176,438, and the 75th percentile is $402,480. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same recipients across multiple years, including Gila River Indian Community, Washoe Tribe, Pascua Yaqui Tribe, San Carlos Apache Tribe, White Mountain Apache Tribe, Salt River Pima-maricopa, Colorado River Indian Tribes, and Native Health Central. That repeated presence suggests an ongoing relationship rather than one-off support. The foundation is not a family foundation in the provided data; it functions as a tribal council and fund administrator. Its programs are structured around pass-through funding, intermediary support, and restricted disbursement rather than individual grants or PRIs.
