The Isora Foundation provided funding to ensure that the IPCC continues to provide live performances for visitors.
Bureau of Indian Affairs Tribal Tourism Grant Program (TTGP)
The Bureau of Indian Affairs Tribal Tourism Opportunity gave the IPCC the resources to support the community best and educate locally and even internationally.
This funding provided the technical assistance needed to examine the feasibility of new cultural programming supporting tourism in New Mexico. “These opportunities range from a possible theater space to a standalone library and archives or to create space for receiving, processing, and storing our extensive museum collection,” said IPCC COO Monique Fragua, now CEO of IPCC. “We are thankful for the Department of Interior’s support for this opportunity to better understand our impact and responsibly plan for our future.”

The Noon Whistle Fund supports Native American initiatives in whatever community they serve. This funding helps support day-to-day operations at the museum. With the help of our donors, the IPCC can provide a variety of programming to the community. Previous funding from this foundation supported a leadership development program that created paid internships for Pueblo natives. Current funding will support renovation in the IPCC’s South Gallery for a groundbreaking collaborative exhibit that will explore how Pueblo architecture has profoundly influenced and continues to shape the essence of Pueblo identity, knowledge, and cultural continuity.
