Powerful work is happening across Indian Country every day. Yet, too often, these efforts remain unseen by mainstream platforms. Representation matters, especially when it comes to impact.

Tomorrow’s the day! Join us for our second #GiveNative webinar, Building Your Campaign! Register today here or via the link in our bio: https://shorturl.at/EZp6I

Solidarity is not just symbolic, it’s a donor investment strategy. When Native leadership is trusted and resourced, communities thrive with solutions rooted in generations of lived knowledge. The path forward begins with shifting power, not just offering support.

Today, we honor #IndigenousPeoplesDay by recognizing the Native peoples, communities, cultures, and nations shaping the present and building the future. Today, don’t just celebrate. Support the people doing the work. Visit the Native Nonprofit List: https://shorturl.at/ZoHJ3

The gaps in data extend far beyond philanthropy. When Native communities are misrepresented or undercounted across health, economic, and demographic research, policy and funding decisions follow suit. Accurate data is not optional, it’s foundational to equity.

This fall, we encourage you to learn how you can support the Native-led nonprofits making a difference every day in your community. Get started by visiting the Native Nonprofit List. 🔗 https://shorturl.at/UEIkK

Philanthropy must reckon with its history in order to transform its future. True equity requires acknowledging how wealth was built and committing to redistributing resources in ways that repair harm. Justice-centered funding isn’t charity, it’s responsibility.

Research without cultural understanding can miss the mark entirely. Tribal sovereignty, citizenship, and lived realities require more than surface-level inquiry—they demand partnership and respect. Acknowledging Native expertise leads to better data and better outcomes.

This Labor Day, we celebrate and honor Native workers, past and present, whose hard work, resilience, and contributions continue to strengthen our communities.

Integrity means accountability to our communities, our partners, and future generations. We strive to act with honesty, transparency, and clear intentions in everything we do. 🔗 Learn more about how we show up at NativeWays.org or by visiting the link in our bio.

Too often, funding intended for Native communities never reaches Native leadership. When resources bypass Native-controlled organizations, self-determination is undermined. Use our Native Nonprofit List to identify and fund Native-led organizations.

Too often, Native organizations are asked to adapt to systems that were never designed for them. Equity means institutions doing the work to understand and reflect the communities they serve, not the other way around. Transformative philanthropy listens first.

Direct support to Native nonprofits ensures resources reach communities with lived expertise. Those closest to the challenges are closest to the solutions. Trusting Native leadership maximizes impact.

In a sector that moves billions each year, Native communities are funded at a fraction of our presence and impact. This disparity isn’t accidental and must be addressed. Equity in philanthropy starts with investing in Native-led leadership.
