THE NB3 FOUNDATION CONTINUED TO SUPPORT COLLECTIVE IMPACT AND SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS THIS FISCAL YEAR WITH THE PREVIOUSLY AWARDED COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT GRANT. NATIVE-LED ORGANIZATIONS AND TRIBES WERE EMPOWERED TO INITIATE AND DEEPEN THEIR STRATEGIC NETWORK THROUGH STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGE GATHERINGS HOSTED BY THE GRANT TEAM AND COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS. DURING THE GRANT'S INITIAL PLANNING PHASE, COMMUNITY PARTNERS ASSESSED THEIR COMMUNITIES' NEEDS WITH AN ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN. THE FOUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS SUCCESSFULLY COLLABORATED WITH MORE THAN 15 TRIBAL PROGRAMS AND/OR ENTITIES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE YOUTH AND COMMUNITIES DURING THEIR IMPLEMENTATION PHASE. IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NB3F INDIGENOUS AND EVALUATION DEPARTMENT, KEEPING TRACK OF THEIR JOURNEY IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO SHARE NOT ONLY WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES, BUT ALSO WITH LEADERSHIP AND FUNDERS. EACH COMMUNITY PARTNER WAS PROVIDED A TOOL TO CAPTURE THE STORY IN VIDEO, PHOTOS, AND DATA.
