California indian museum and cultural center-FY24 congressional community project funding

The U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) Office of the Chief Operating Officer awarded a $1,000,000 Congressional Grants Program (CFDA 59.059) project grant to the California Indian Museum and Cultural Center (CIMCC) in Santa Rosa, CA. The grant funding will support CIMCC's initiatives to educate the public about the history, culture, and contemporary life of California Indians, as well as honor their contributions. Key activities include preserving and promoting Native American culture, history, and traditions through educational programming, economic development projects in the food and agriculture sectors, and virtual K-12 and family programming. The grant supports CIMCC's mission as a non-profit, minority-owned, Native American-owned organization focused on weaving Native culture into the future. This award builds on CIMCC's prior federal grant funding from agencies like the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for related initiatives.
