Philanthropy can do better at supporting Indigenous Peoples, and you can join International Funders for Indigenous Peoples to learn more about "Embracing Indigenous Worldviews in Philanthropy: Reciprocity, Solidarity, and Redistribution".

After the hottest year on record last year and widespread climate emotions, including anxiety, despair and grief amongst young people, there's an opportunity and need for the philanthropy sector--individuals, foundations and companies--to invest in addressing #climatementalhealth amongst #youth.

"In Australia, only 0.50% of funding reaches Indigenous communities directly. These numbers highlight the significant imbalances that require urgent attention. One of the primary obstacles for Indigenous communities in securing philanthropic funding is the lack of mutual understanding between funders and Indigenous Peoples. There is an urgent need to change the narrative in philanthropy. We must open the doors and embrace Indigenous Peoples as equal partners who bring solutions from the ground up. This shift involves concepts like reciprocity, redefining success from Indigenous perspectives, and promoting truth-telling and advocacy. It’s about capturing and amplifying the stories of Indigenous communities to influence funder practices. Supporting organizations in effectively telling their stories is crucial to highlight their impact and emphasize the importance of Indigenous perspectives in philanthropy" IFIP Sharing Circle Read our latest issue of the Sharing Circle focused on Australia here: https://lnkd.in/gnw_utK5
