About Us

Potlatch Fund is a community foundation and leadership development organization working in Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Oregon. We are dedicated our mission to expand philanthropy within Tribal Nations and Native Communities in the Northwest by inspiring and building upon the Native tradition of giving.

Among Northwest Coastal tribes, a potlatch is a coming together in ceremony, celebration and giving. Potlatches have always embodied the best of what Native culture had to offer: community building, food, song, and above all else, sharing. Today, the spirit of the potlatch – of philanthropy in its most traditional form – continues to thrive in every Native community.

To honor this traditional value of giving, Potlatch Fund was formed in 2002. We support Native people by sharing tools and resources needed to strengthen communities. We champion investment in our future leaders so they may serve others. We bring the realities of Native America to the philanthropic community. And we share the resources with those dedicated to keeping Native communities, arts and cultures alive.
