DescGRANTMAKING - Our grantmaking program provides critical support to Indigenous communities working to protect land, water, culture, and people. Our participatory approach centers Indigeous knowledge systems and ensures that grantmaking reflects the values and priorities of the communities we serve. This year, we administered three grant cycles. POWER OF CEREMONY grants enabled Tribes, cultural leaders, and families to sustain and revitalize traditional ceremonial practices by supporting seasonal and place-based cultural gatherings, spiritual practices, and intergenerational teachings. The INDIGENOUS LIFEWAYS FUND invested in preserving and sharing cultural practices like traditional foods, plant medicines, fishing, basketry, hide tanning, and language. Our funding promotes sovereignty, economic opportunities, and environmental resilience. Finally, as part of a collaborative statewide effort, our HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL grants resourced Native-led organizations addressing ecological disparities and uplifting the wellbeing of both land and people. We partnered with Front & Centered, Asia Pacific Cultural Center, Latino Community Fund, and the Washington State Coalition of African Community Leaders to distribute a combined $3 million in community capacity building grants across overburdened and historically underserved communities.Desc

In 2024, we conducted a program assessment including community feedback, strengths and assets mapping of past participants, and engaged in strategic planning to reimagine the next phase of Sovereign Futures. With an emphasis on education, skill-sharing, and resourcing, we are preparing to relaunch in 2025 with renewed energy, deepened purpose, and a structure designed to catalyze leadership and movements for self-determined, positive futures across our network of urban, rural, island, and reservation-based Indigenous communities.Desc

ExplanationNaah Illahee Fund practices a relational model of grantmaking rooted in trust, reciprocity, and accountability to Indigenous communities. Grantees are asked to provide narrative and/or financial updates appropriate to the scale of the grant, supplemented by dialogue and relationship-building that allows us to understand the impact of funds in context. This approach ensures funds are used for their intended charitable purposes while also honoring community-defined priorities and Indigenous ways of accountability. Rather than relying solely on transactional reporting, our senior and middle management team members maintain ongoing communication with grantees through regular check-ins, site visits, and gatherings that foster transparency and shared learning.ExplanationTxt
