Tips for Applicants
As a small foundation with limited public information, prospective applicants should research whether the foundation accepts unsolicited applications before approaching. Given the small annual budget (~$25,000), this foundation likely supports a limited number of organizations or projects each year. Focus any approach on clearly demonstrating impact for Indigenous communities and be specific about how funding would be used. The foundation may have established relationships with particular organizations rather than operating an open grants program.
Giving Philosophy
