“Native Voices Rising is a research, donor education, re-granting, and capacity-building collaborative created by Common Counsel Foundation and Native Americans in Philanthropy. Native Voices Rising is designed to support organizing, advocacy and civic engagement in American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities.
Eligible organizations are rooted in a Native community, led by Native people, hold a vision for change that improves the lives of Native community members, engage the community to take action together and/or seek to affect the policies and rules that govern the community. Native Voices Rising serves as a mechanism to build broad-based philanthropic support for grassroots groups led by and for Native communities and to amplify Native voices elevating indigenous solutions to historic harms and society’s most pressing issues. It is considered a truism, within philanthropic circles, that organizing in Native communities looks different than in non-Native communities. Native Voices Rising helps elucidate some of the characteristics frequently found among successful grassroots Native organizing efforts, including:
- Native leadership embedded in the community
- Strong community relationships
- Incorporation of Native community-centered values
- Membership and programs are multi-generational
- Direct services might be offered in coordination with organizing, advocacy, leadership development or voter engagement strategies
- An organizing or advocacy program that amplifies Native voices to win positive change in policy or corporate accountability.”
