Breakout Session: The Power of Native Nonprofits and Funders Working Together

Breakout Session: The Power of Native Nonprofits and Funders Working Together

In this session, learn about the Seventh Generation Fund and the work of a 15-year collaborative partnership, Strengthening the Circle, which supports grassroots Native-led nonprofits and funders as they work together with a shared goal of improving opportunities in Indian Country. Nonprofit organizers and funders will discuss their lessons learned working together in support of sovereignty, self-determination and movement-building led by Native leaders across the Pacific Northwest region. They will also discuss and extend an invitation to participate in Strengthening the Circle and its Funders Group, a funder-to-funder learning circle that is committed to learning more about Native-led nonprofits, respectfully building peer-to-peer relationships with Native nonprofit leaders, and funding their work as there is a match with each funder’s mission.
