Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Indigenous People, International
Mission: IFIP convenes and educates donors to build capacity and enhance funding partnerships to improve the lives of Indigenous Peoples globally. IFIP accomplishes its mission by increasing knowledge and understanding of the unique issues of Indigenous peoples by facilitating dialogue both among its grant making members and between that membership and Indigenous communities.
Results: IFIP facilitates regular opportunities for donors to have direct personal interaction with representatives of Indigenous communities from around the world. By speaking directly with Indigenous leaders, donors are able to learn first-hand about the issues that impact these Indigenous communities, scale funding more appropriately to the aims and needs of projects, and explore cultural differences that inform grantmaking expectations, processes, and outcomes. IFIP advances Indigenous Philanthropy by: Raising awareness of the need for significant increases to international funding for Indigenous Peoples and the benefits that will be derived from these greater investments; Providing information about global issues and local impacts on Indigenous communities around the world; Building knowledge and understanding of issues particular to funding Indigenous projects; Encouraging innovation and greater effectiveness in Indigenous grantmaking, Fostering an appreciation for Indigenous People's long-term approach to solution-making and the holistic context in which they live and work.
