According to federal CARES Act Tribal relief fund requirements, beneficiaries must prove or certify financial harm due to the pandemic. Calista received $12.2 million in early August, and the Board directed $11.4 million, or 93 percent, of these funds to be available as direct financial assistance to Shareholders. Additionally, $10,000 was directed to purchasing fish for distribution to lower Yukon River delta communities, and any remaining CARES funds to be considered for additional Shareholder or community support, partially cover the costs to administer Calista’s CARES assistance program, or other federally-approved expenditures.
