Funds for the scholarships and grants come primarily from the earnings of the Foundation's nine endowment funds, the annual CIRI Golf Classic and contributions from other donors. The four village scholarship programs are funded by the respective corporations including Kenai Natives Association and Tanaina Corporation, Ninilchik Native Association, Salamatof Native Association and Tyonek Native Corporation.
