5)✔ MASTER PLAN BUILDING FUND – WE SUBMITTED SEVERAL GRANT APPLICATIONS as we began the Grant Search for funds to build “The Lighthouse,” our administration building. Each of our programs is designed to embrace our organization’s values through passion, vision, and priorities. We will generate jobs for Indigenous people, filmmakers, writers, seamstresses, artists, woodworkers, teachers, and other visionaries who want to learn, grow and ignite change in the world. To do these things we realize we need a functional facility that invokes an atmosphere of creativity, imagination, and love for each other. We started Humanity Shines for this mission, and we plan construction of a working nonprofit facility at Broken Hand Meadows.
