On October 26, at 1:00 pm (ET), join our moderator, Stephine “Steph” Poston, M.A. (Pueblo of Sandia), and Indigenous community leaders Whitney Sawney (Cherokee Nation) and Natalie Benally (Diné) to learn more about how philanthropy can best support Indigenous peoples’ efforts to preserve and strengthen traditional food systems while also learning more about the issues, concerns, and strategies impacting food security in Indigenous communities.

About the Series: 

Native Americans in Philanthropy welcomes you to engage in a gathering of nonprofits, philanthropy, emerging leaders, and Indigenous communities for discussions and collaborative action for building philanthropy rooted in Indigenous traditions and values.

This session is available to the public as a highlight of our member benefits. For more information on NAP Memberships, please email Rod Jacobs at rjacobs@nativephilanthropy.org.

Our curated education sessions of virtual conversations, panels, and speakers represent the diversity of Indian Country and the experiences of Indigenous Peoples in what is now known as America. These sessions are designed for NAP members working in philanthropy and will focus on how philanthropy can operate differently to center Indigenous perspectives.

Through these sessions, NAP is passing the mic to individuals, Tribes, and Indigenous-led nonprofits who are experts in their respective fields. This platform will foster an informed membership that will lead the shifting of the philanthropic sector in deeper, more impactful ways that serve the people, communities, and causes they care about.
