Indigenizing Philanthropy. Building Solidarity.
Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP) promotes equitable and effective philanthropy in Native communities. The cornerstone of our work is our relatives and our networks. We support several communities and partners that work together to build knowledge, community, priorities, and power in the sector. These networks include Native professionals in philanthropy, elected Tribal leaders, Native youth leaders, Native philanthropic executives and board members, and Native nonprofit leaders.
We leverage the power and wisdom of these networks to:
- Increase the authentic visibility of Native people and communities
- Develop tools and resources to educate funders
- Establish more meaningful relationships that align with our Indigenous values
- Increase funding and accountability to Indigenous-led organizations, grassroots movements, and Tribal Nations.
