Community Self-Determination Grant
This unprecedented grant opportunity will support and invest in the long-term visions, priorities and power building of Indigenous Nations, communities and Peoples through Indigenous decision-making and leadership.
NDN Collective’s mission is to build the collective power of Indigenous Peoples, communities and nations to exercise our inherent right to self-determination while fostering a world that is built on a foundation of justice and equity for all people and the planet.
NDN works to transform systems, shift power and generate sustainable solutions through the following three core strategies:
Defend
Indigenous Peoples, communities and nations defend and protect our land, air, water and natural resources.
Develop
Indigenous Peoples, communities and nations are developed in a regenerative and sustainable manner based on our values and connection to land, culture and identity.
Decolonize
Indigenous ceremonies, cultures, languages and ways of life are revitalized, recognized and celebrated.
