Natives Giving to Natives – Developing a Tribal Philanthropic Movement (Room 28 E)

Mainstream Philanthropy has consistently underfunded and for the most part ignored the needs of Indian Country. This lack of investment is causing tribes to shoulder almost the entire financial burden for these endeavors. Natives Giving to Natives represents a core strategic vision for improving our future. In this session, we will discuss how you and your Tribe how you can help Indian country and your own communities  develop and leverage their collective power, visibility and influence and by doing so will lead to increased long-term funding and capacity building in Native communities.
