Native Americans in Philanthropy Education Session: Equity Through Participatory Grantmaking featuring Native Voices Rising (virtual)
October 27, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm CDT
Join Native Americans in Philanthropy’s moderator, Stephine “Steph” Poston (Pueblo of Sandia), and three Native Voices Rising strategic change makers, Geneva Wiki (Yurok Tribe), Holly Masten (Yurok Tribe), and LorenAshley Buford (Yamassee), to discuss how philanthropy can lift up the lived experiences of Indigenous peoples working for change in their communities.
Created and led by Common Counsel Foundation and Native Americans in Philanthropy, Native Voices Rising is a community-led model for equitable philanthropy. The only partnership between a public community foundation and Native community philanthropic advocacy organization, it has fostered a unique opportunity of learning that incorporates and centers the voices of those most marginalized.
Native Voices Rising serves as a mechanism for building broad-based philanthropic support for grassroots groups led by and for Native communities. This model amplifies Native voices and solutions to historic harms and our communities’ most pressing issues.
About The Series:
Native Americans in Philanthropy welcomes you to engage in a gathering of nonprofits, philanthropy, emerging leaders, and Native communities for discussions and collaborative action for building philanthropy rooted in Native traditions and values.
All four 2022 sessions are open to the public. In 2023, Member Education Sessions will be a benefit of our NAP Memberships. 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 America. These sessions are designed for NAP members working in philanthropy and will focus on how philanthropy can operate differently to center Indigenous perspectives and values.
Through the curation of these sessions, NAP is passing the mic to individuals, Tribes, and Native nonprofits who are experts in their respective fields. This curated 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.
