Empowering Indigenous Communities: NDNCollective Secures $50 Million in Grant Funding for Impactful Systemic Change

NDN Collective, a pioneering organization headquartered in the stunning Black Hills on Oceti Sakowin Territory, is excited to announce its successful fundraising campaign, raising an impressive $50 million. This historic funding milestone marks a significant step toward reshaping the landscape of philanthropy and impact investing for Indigenous communities. NDN Collective's mission centers on empowering Indigenous Peoples, communities, and Nations to assert their inherent right to self-determination. Through a robust suite of core programming, including grantmaking, narrative amplification, predevelopment support, low-interest investments, and community organizing, the organization is committed to building collective power and fostering a world grounded in justice and equity. The newly raised funds will primarily be utilized to expand their impactful initiatives, ensuring that resources are redistributed effectively to those communities that have long been marginalized and overlooked. NDN Collective firmly believes that real transformation is only possible when Indigenous voices and leadership are at the forefront of the change we seek. This investment not only amplifies the ongoing fight for liberation and justice but also underscores the importance of addressing systemic inequalities. With this newfound capital, NDN Collective is poised to cultivate further opportunities for self-determination, empower diverse voices, and bolster community resilience in the face of ongoing challenges. As the organization moves forward, it remains dedicated to its vision of a world that respects and honors both Indigenous rights and the sacredness of Mother Earth.
