NACF is in the Willamette Week’s Give!Guide

For the first time ever, NACF is in the Willamette Week‘s Give!Guide. The Give!Guide encourages support of the Portland, Oregon, area based nonprofits via an easy to access online platform. There exists a vacuum in Portland, wherein the Native community has no center dedicated solely to arts and cultures. Giving Native people in the city a physical, visual presence will impact the greater community by truly “making the invisible visible.” With the upcoming transfer of ownership of the Yale Union building in Southeast Portland to NACF, we will realize a vision of Portland as a center for Native people through arts, culture and social justice.

Bison Coffeehouse in Portland is offering a FREE CUP OF COFFEE to every person who donates to NACF with proof of purchase!

Having a physical venue like the Center for Native Arts & Cultures where we can tell our different stories will help our cultures survive by creating deeper connections within the Native world, but also help us to be more visible and to tell our stories, our real stories to broader audiences.”
― Brenda Mallory (Cherokee Nation), artist and NACF Fellow

This means that if we raise $5,000, those donations will be matched by $9,000 by our corporate sponsors, for a total of $14,000 for Native artists!
