  2. Policy analysis and educationit is critical of uios to keep up-to-date on policy developments at the local, state and national level impacting their operations. It is further necessary for uios to educate policy-makers and others. This program consists of researching, summarizing and distributing information concerning state and federal policies impacting uios and policy initiatives of national organizations impacting uios; educating and informing policy-makers, governmental agencies, funders, cms contractors, the insurance industry, and other community health providers about uios; and supporting or opposing, within 501(c)(3) constraints, policy proposals impacting uios.

  3. Training and technical assistancetraining and technical assistance for uio staff is critical for maintaining organizational effectiveness and longevity. Trained and effective staff will better serve montana's urban indian population. This program consists of identifying training needs of uios, including financial and organizational management, cultural training, workforce development, grant compliance; securing funding and trainers to provide training in identified areas; and providing technical assistance directly or through contracted professional assistance as needed.

Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.

1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of MONTANA CONSORTIUM FOR URBAN INDIAN HEALTH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
