Power Past Fracked Gas
& Columbia Riverkeeper
Power Past Fracked Gas worked with Columbia Riverkeeper to become our very first foundation funders in 2021, and they are also our first repeat funders in 2022. PPFG and CRK have been overwhelmingly supportive of our work in ecological restoration, and understanding that as Indigenous people our environmental work bleeds into Indigenous sovereignty, cultural revitalization, food sovereignty and education.
Power Past Fracked Gas is shutting down to move on to other work, but we still encourage everyone to check out their past work and to support Columbia Riverkeeper.
Peace Development Fund
The Peace Development Fund gave us direct funding, and support for fundraising at a critical time for our organization in early 2022 when we had almost no funding left to begin our programs for the year.
They’ve awarded us through the De Colores Rapid Response fund, their Community Organizing Fund and the Braiding New Worlds Fund, as well as helping us in their Grassroots Fundraising Week.
If you can, please read about their work and support them.
Seattle Foundation
The Seattle Foundation was another early and supportive foundation in 2022, awarding us funds through their Neighbor 2 Neighbor fund.
Their funding has supported our education work bringing indigenous curriculum to thousands of Indigenous youth, other students of color in and around South Seattle. N2N also helped us bring our own cohort of students to do a riparian observation and restoration trip in the Duwamish Watershed.
Please learn about them and support their work if you can.
RESIST Foundation
RESIST is a foundation that supports peoples’ movements for justice and liberation. They awarded us through their Community Education and Accessibility grants in 2022. They made some of our cultural exchange and medicine workshops possible that we otherwise couldn’t have afforded, and as an organization that serves people with disabilities and has disabled leadership, we really appreciate their commitment to fund accessibility.
Please learn about their work and support them if you are able.
Potlatch Fund
The Potlatch Fund celebrates Native communities through the cultural tradition of giving. Potlatch supported our work with general support through their Resiliency Covid Relief fund in 2022 which was really the perfect timing to carry our programs through the end of the year and help us maintain and grow connections with our students and families from before and during COVID.
Please read about them on their site and support their work if you can.
Ben & Jerry’s Foundation
We applied for Ben & Jerry’s national grassroots organizing grant, and although they were looking to fund more traditional political projects they were still generous enough to fund us with $1000 to support our work.
We appreciate their funding and encourage anyone who didn’t know Ben & Jerry’s had a charitable foundation to check out what they fund on their website.
Rose Foundation
The Rose Foundation showed such generosity as our largest single funder so far, and with how enthusiastic they are about our mission and supporting it now and into the future.
We were awarded funding through their Puget Sound Mitigation Fund to conduct ecological restoration & education in the Duwamish River watershed .
Their investigations & legal suits to hold polluters accountable is great environmental protection work. Please support their work.
Na’ah Illahee Fund
The Na’ah Illahee Fund supports and promotes the leadership of Indigenous women in the ongoing regeneration of Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. They awarded us through their Food Sovereignty Fund in 2023.
Their mission to support the work of Indigenous Women, and the goals of the Food Sovereignty Fund are so closely overlapping our organization’s leadership and our work that we are very excited they decided to support our work for Planting Roots & 13 Moons of Medicine.
