COVID-19 Relief Grants

Through the generosity of a private donor, Mr. Marty Jeiven, IMAGEN received $36,000 to directly fund groups that work with AI/AN adolescent girls. To reach as many girls as possible, IMAGEN created micro-grants ranging from $500-$2,000 that were dispersed to Native women working with local girls. We received applications from teachers, domestic violence advocates, health professionals, community organizers and child welfare specialists. Between May and October 2020 IMAGEN administered 68 micro grants to 33 Girl Society groups working in 44 communities, reaching over 600 girls. IMAGEN’s reach has been broad; we funded groups working with girls in cities, towns and rural tribal communities in 14 states, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and Wisconsin.
