Member Education Sessions: Funding Opportunities for Native Nonprofits
August 22, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Native nonprofits play a vital role in our communities by aiding in the equitable and accurate delivery of services. While they amplify the voices and perspectives of Indigenous peoples, they also face unique challenges in sustaining and scaling their operations. Research shows that less than 0.4% of large philanthropic funding makes its way to Indian Country. This minuscule amount creates extreme competition among countless nonprofits with worthwhile missions. Native Americans in Philanthropy aims to change this. Native nonprofits must be prioritized in funding strategies and opportunities.
Our August MES panel addresses this critical need. Please join this impressive group of practitioners, funders, and advocates on Thursday, August 22 at 1:00 pm ET for a holistic conversation on the needs and resources available to Native nonprofits. Native Ways Federation’s Carly Bad Heart Bull (Dakota/Muscogee), Native Voices Rising’s Shash Yázhí Moreno Charley (Diné), and Change Labs’s Heather Fleming (Diné/Navajo) will share their resources and knowledge to ensure that Native nonprofits across Turtle Island are safeguarded and secured for generations to come.
