The Since Time Immemorial Fund was created in partnership with the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI) to rapidly deploy resources to Tribal Communities across the region.

To support those most impacted by the wildfires, Meyer approved $250,000 in new grants for communities wrestling with immediate needs, focusing on relief funds that reach the most impacted communities and people within those communities that have the least access to aid.
