About Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples
Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples Inc. centers Indigenous self-determination through grants, fiscal sponsorship, training, leadership development, and community-based capacity building. The recent record shows that its support often reaches community organizations doing direct work on culture, healing, and territorial well-being. A $150,000 grant to Duk Duk Goose Inc in Barrigada, Guam, stands out in the latest list, alongside major support for Northern Cheyenne Food Pantry in Lame Deer, Montana, and Tewa Women United in Santa Cruz, New Mexico. Those awards sit within a broader pattern of funding Indigenous-led projects rather than general institutional overhead alone. The foundation’s stated focus areas include Indigenous rights and self-determination, climate resilience and environment, emergency and crisis relief, women’s and girls’ gender justice, cultural preservation and language, leadership development, and economic and renewable energy projects. Its grantmaking also aligns with beneficiary groups such as Native American and Indigenous tribes, elders, youth, Indigenous women, and families affected by COVID-19 and chronic illness. Across the recent grants list, the work ranges from food access and disaster response to language revitalization, cultural gatherings, and healing spaces.
What Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples Funds
In language and cultural continuity, the foundation supported Crow Language Consortium in Billings, Montana, with $50,000 for program assistance, and backed Ku Sniwlx (Let’s Soar) Project in Spokane, Washington, with $50,000 to expand Salish language instruction to two high schools. Cultural revitalization also appears in $50,000 for Herring Protectors in Sitka, Alaska, to host the fourth Yaaw Koo.ex and address oppressive systems affecting the community. Health, healing, and crisis response are another clear thread. It gave $50,000 to Iamlegacy in Box Elder, South Dakota, for healing spaces for people who have experienced traumatic events, abuse, crisis, or hardship, and $50,530 to Walker River Paiute Tribe in Schurz, Nevada, for emergency flooding support. In women’s leadership, Kanenhiio Ionkwaienthos, now formally known as Rematriation, received $50,000 to launch a digital mentoring platform for Indigenous women.
