We believe in the power of strategic partnerships to strengthen community support. Through our work with other funders and organizations, we are part of efforts to transform philanthropy toward more equitable and respectful practices. With initiatives like “Roots of the Future”—our event that brought together Indigenous and ally voices to European audiences—and other projects in development, we seek to create synergies with institutions that share our commitment to cultural preservation, access to health, education, water, and a healthy environment as fundamental human rights. We invite organizations and entities who want to contribute to this mission to explore possibilities for collaboration with us.
