THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Tribal/Native Community, Tribal/Native Languages, Missing and Murdered Native/Indigenous Women, Community Leadership
Deadline: Ongoing
“The Vadon Foundation supports innovative community-based initiatives that sustain healthy thriving indigenous nations in perpetuity. We support programs working to ensure that every successive generation of indigenous people and culture will face an increasingly brighter future of healthy self-determination, autonomy, evolution, and sustainability. Recognizing that multi-generational problems require multi-generational solutions, we believe that developing and supporting visionary changemakers within native communities provides the most proven path for fostering long-term progress.
- Language Revitalization: Language is the glue that connects traditional culture, values, identity, and sovereignty. Restoring the vibrant, living ecosystems of Native languages creates cascading benefits that intersect every aspect of Native community and lives.
- MMIWG2S—Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two‑Spirit People: Disproportionate violence against the most vulnerable members of Native communities continues to be largely ignored and unaddressed. Institutional transparency, accountability, and the will to create real change must driven by Native grassroots leaders.
- Innovative Community Leadership: Dynamic leaders identify their communities’ unique challenges, create solutions, take risks, and create sustainable change. Fostering positive support particularly for youth and families creates healthier communities for today and future generations.”
