Structure

The California Tribal College (CTC) was developed with a governance structure that would ensure the development and operational control would always remain within California tribes that wish to participate.

The governance structure that has been developed and adopted, outlines the following:

• A thirteen-member interim Board of Regents has been approved which governs the CTC.
• An application was submitted and approved for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. This means anyone donating to the CTC may be able to claim their donation on income taxes. As a nonprofit, the CTC qualifies for additional grant funding.
• The CTC will be governed by California tribes through delegates chosen by individual tribal governments. These delegates will be members of the CTC Tribal Leadership Council.
• Every California tribe has the ability to participate in the CTC governance structure.
