Both had information onsome 180giving organizations. This volume reflects some dramatic and positive changes for the better for Indiannonprofits, schools, colleges, and tribes. The number of organizations whichare giving to Native Americans has increased from180 to over500.The total giving to Indian organizations per year has increased from$2million in 1978 to over $10 million, or 500%, according to a report by Native Americans in Philanthropy publishedin1991.The total has increased even more since, perhaps to$15 to $20million. Only six foundation and corporations identified Native Americans in their policystatement in 1983. In 1999,fully87foundations and40corporations targetNative Americans. Two other things have changed since1985.The Indian population has increased from1.4million to2.2 million.Foundation and corporate giving have increased dramatically (see Chart 1), froma total of$8 to $26 billion. Unfortunately, giving to Indians has not risen nearlyas fast as 1 giving to others. Total giving to Indians is still far from parity. Foundation and corporate giving lastyear was $26 billion. The Indian population is2.2million people out of272million, or .081% The parity figure for giving to Indians is thus $210 million-much more than is actually being given. Indiansare clearly getting less than 10% of what they should be getting. That is not mainly the fault of the givers.It is mainly the fault of the Indian organizations. They (we) are not asking enough people often enough to fund Indiangrants. The Native American Scholarship Fund has done a great deal of workto develop this book. First of all, we solicited all31,000foundations and corporate foundations in the U.S. in 1990 and1991.This work alone opened dozens of doors which had always been closed before. We receive grantson a weekly basis from founda-tions and corporations which have previously never made even one grant toany Indian organization. To solicit the foundations and corporations, we built a complete data base of foundationsusing the National Data Book published by The Foundation Center. This data base isone of the most valuable of the many things the esteemed Center maintains. Second, we searched a wide variety of sources to compile the information in this book.The Foundations on CD-ROM from The Foundation Center, the Internet, numerous state foundation directories, the Grants Index from The Foundation Center, individual reports, ourown data base of active foundation, and several other sources were consulted. Also contributing to this work greatly has been thegroup Native Americans in Philanthropy. This tiny handful of Native American foundation executives and board members has literally openedhundreds of doors for Native American grant seekers. Their publications are trend-setting, timely, and valuable. A few words of advice.First, use the subject index in the back of this book to do quick searches for grants. It is almost certainly a waste of time to sit and read all the informationon the numerous sources listed. No one should do that. Second, DO NOT USE THIS BOOK AS THE ONLY SOURCE YOU CONSULT BEFORE WRITING A PROPOSAL. Use the Foundation Directory, the Grants Index, the several publicationson corpo-rate giving, and most important, the guidelines and polices of the specific foundation or corporation, to help fash-ionyour grant request. Many foundations are on the Internet now, and many have their own web sites,so collect-ing information about them is easier than ever. The National Indian Grant Directory iii Third, read the first chapter before you start doing work on private sector grants. There are many ways to do things wrong, to take the wrong approach. Some of them can do you permanent harm, such as closing the doors of a particular source to you forever. DO YOUR HOMEWORK CAREFULLY AND WELL. Finally, a word about authorship.I wrote this Preface and the first chapter on Preparation and Writing. Stacey Jenkins compiled the information and wrote the other four chapters. So the major credit for authorship goes to Ms. Jenkins. We wish her and her husband Dr. Devin Jenkins and their son David the best as they move from Albuquerque to Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, Virginia. Dean Chavers, Ph. D Albuquerque, New Mexico December 2, 1999 P.S. Please send updates, changes, and corrections to us any time. We will make these changes for future editions. The National Indian Grant Directory iv HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE research them all. We tried not to list any grant over five years old, because foundations change emphasis. This manual should be used in the search The listing does not include all grants listedas process for grant funds. It should be used primarily "minor-ity." If it did, the list would be much longer. for spe-cial projects which require outside funds.

    The Economic Impact Early Care and Education Industry in Illinois A REPORT BY ACTION FOR CHILDREN, CHICAGO METROPOLIS 2020 AND ILLINOIS FACILITIES FUND January 2005 This report on the economic impact of Early Care and Education looks at this industry through a new lens — an economic one that considers for the first time the industry’s contributions to the Illinois economy. It also re-examines government savings and the workforce impact of Early Care and Education in Illinois. Over the years, the Early Care and Education industry has changed to meet the growing needs of working families and their children. Regardless of program type or setting — child care, Head Start, family child care, preschool, or prekindergarten, for-profit or nonprofit, public or private, regulated or unregulated — the Early Care and Education industry provides economic benefits to Illinois and its businesses. The findings in this report highlight the financial significance of the industry as well as the need to ensure access to high quality Early Care and Education for Illinois children. By targeting the Early Care and Education industry for economic and workforce development, the business community, government and industry leaders can capitalize on the high returns to our children and our economy.
