The Cowlitz Tribal Foundation awarded the Foundation for Vancouver Public Schools a $125,000 grant to help support families and students experiencing poverty, as well as support for early-learning programs, social and emotional health, and more.
The grant, which was announced via press release Friday, came from the Cowlitz Tribal Foundation Clark County Fund — an extension of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe.
“The Cowlitz Indian Tribe is honored to be in a position to support our community through the Cowlitz Tribal Foundation Clark County Fund,” Cowlitz Tribal Foundation Manager Timi Marie Russin said. “We are committed to education and look forward to learning how the grant was used in serving students. We honor your good work and are happy to work together in serving others.”
