We seek to be a good partner to Wabanaki-led and Wabanaki serving community organizations and tribal governments by supporting work on community priorities through grants, capacity-building and technical assistance, convening, shared learning, and impact investment.
2024 Available Funding: up to $430,000
Focus Area Lead: Sonya LaCoute-Dana, Community Partner
Priorities
Generally, we will support work that is focused on:
Sovereignty, self-governance and self-determination
Collective well-being
Community culture and community building
Indigenous leadership and resourcing across communities
Funding is focused on organizations and efforts that meet the following criteria:
The organization is led by majority Wabanaki and indigenous people (staff and board) and/or is serving Wabanaki Communities.
Most of the work of the organization is focused on and/or serving Wabanaki people, communities, and interests.
All or most of the work takes place in what is now Maine.
2024 Grantmaking
Because of the limited funding available this year, our grantmaking will be by invitation only. We will either invite new applications (for new work or for organizations that aren’t current grantees) or make amendments to existing grants. If you have work that you would like to have considered for invitation, please contact Sonya LaCoute-Dana, to discuss.
