FUELING INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP, NOURISHING COMMUNITIES & HEALING MOTHER EARTH.
For many years, we have led community based mutual aid efforts, and we have now formalized this work through the Earth Daughters Fund. The Earth Daughters Fund provides microgrants to Indigenous led organizations, grassroots initiatives, and communities working to strengthen their relationships with land, culture, and one another.
Funding may support projects such as climate resilient food and water security initiatives, land and agricultural stewardship, youth environmental leadership, conservation and restoration work, community resilience building, or other efforts that protect and heal our environments. |

We welcome organizations, businesses, and partners interested in sponsoring the Earth Daughters Fund. Please email [email protected]. Each year we receive more applications than we are able to fund, so additional sponsorship helps us support more Indigenous-led projects and communities.
