Seventh Generation Fund For Indian Development
Category: Social Change
DescriptionThe Fund is dedicated to promoting and maintaining the uniqueness of Native peoples and the sovereignty of tribal nations throughout the Americas. Grantmaking is focused on indigenous communities and organizations. The Fund’s approach is holistic in nature and Native-centered. Projects must be focused in the Native community where they will take place, with the purpose, design, and implementation strategy firmly grounded in and originating from the indigenous peoples/communities they serve. Leadership authoring and decision-making activities are clearly vested in the people that the project impacts. Projects must promote and enhance the language, culture, traditional institutions, values, and way of life of its constituents. The project should demonstrate the capacity and intent to become self-reliant and commit to the development of training and technical assistance strategies to increase self-reliance. The project must be willing to incorporate internal training processes to increase the number of skilled people in the community. It should demonstrate capacity and willingness to carry out its mission in a manner that impacts the largest number of people and broadest segments of the indigenous society. And it must not promote or perpetuate racism, sexism, oppression or exploitation of other humans or the natural environment. Grants are awarded for projects in arts and cultural expression, environmental health and justice, human rights, intergenerational leadership, sacred earth, sustainable communities, and women’s leadership.
