Cultural Wellness Check

The Cultural Wellness Check was a gap analysis the Foundation conducted to help determine what types of cultural activities are available and what types are needed to help promote and preserve Bristol Bay’s cultural heritage. The purpose of this study was to guide the Education Foundation’s investment over the next 10-20 years and identify clear areas where focused leadership would be welcome and needed. The Cultural Wellness Check provides a summary of the survey results and the cultural priorities participants identified.
