NCIDC Community Needs Assessment Survey

We are asking you to complete this survey so we can better understand the needs of California Native American Communities. The information is used to target and fund services needed by low income Native people and communities.  Hearing your voice will assist us in making sure we are meeting real needs in your tribe and community. Some of the questions are personal and sensisitive, but all your answers are voluntary and anonymous.   The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

NCIDC is a nonprofit that provides services to 14,000 to 15,000 clients throughout California every year. NCIDC was established in 1976 to research, develop, and provide social and economic development programs to meet the needs of Native American Communities. NCIDC also helps develop programs in other organizations.

NCIDC has developed a statewide community service network. The network consists of NCIDC, California Tribes, and three subcontractors that deliver CSBG services to Indian people residing in the on- and off-reservation areas of the State. The Community Service Block Grant Subcontractors include California Indian Manpower Consortium, United Indian Nations, and Southern California American Indian Resource Center.  The information you provide will help to plan and develop services needed by the community.


~Your privacy is our number one concern.~
Your answers will only be seen by staff from the NCIDC Eureka office and our research partners at CCRP. No one will know who completed this questionnaire. Your answers won't influence any services you receive from NCIDC or our partner agencies.

The survey period ends on June 1st, 2019.

PRESS RELEASE
Intertribal Gathering

Eureka, CA. May 10, 2019—The Northern California Indian Development Council announced today an end of an era and the beginning of a new age for the Intertribal Gathering and Elders Dinner. The NCIDC is planning to work to transform the event into support for smaller regional events.  The traditional Intertribal event that has been held in November in the past will not be held this year. Instead, the event that honored Native American Veterans and Elders will be given new life that focuses on self-determination for local tribes and tribal organizations. “It is not ending, it is evolving” stated Ruby Rollings, NCIDC Chairperson. The event has seen declining community financial support and increased operational costs over the last several years and is not sustainable under the old model of operation.

Instead of one Intertribal Gathering and Elders dinner, the Agency is developing an annual grant opportunity to fund local tribal events in Del Norte, Humboldt, Trinity and Siskiyou counties.
