Description
1) Objective
Keepers of the Earth Fund, formerly housed at First Peoples Worldwide, is a small grants fund designed to support Indigenous Peoples’ advocacy and community development projects. Since 2017, the Keepers of the Earth Fund, through small grants and technical assistance, has supported 119 projects in 31 countries totaling over $488,475 USD. The Fund hopes to gain additional investors over the next three years in order to make more, longer-term investments in Indigenous values-based innovation and rights-based projects.
The funded projects address the diverse needs of Indigenous Peoples. They collaborate with projects focused on the following topics and their intersections: leadership of Indigenous women and youth; political, economic, and food sovereignty; Free, Prior and Informed Consent; self-governance; land and water rights; land titling, tenure, and stewardship; agroecology; environmental and biodiversity protection; climate change; carbon sequestration; intergenerational transmission of traditional knowledge; Indigenous language, culture and knowledge revitalization; movement-building, and Indigenous participation and representation in local, regional, national and international spaces.
2) Eligibility
Applicants must be Indigenous-led or represent an Indigenous-led project, be a grassroots/local organization or group and have an organizational bank account or access to a fiscal sponsor. They consider all applications on a case-by-case basis but prioritize small organizations with annual budgets less than $150,000.
3) Location
Keepers of the Earth Fund is open to receive projects from any country where there is a presence of Indigenous communities; however, we will give slight preference to: The Americas, Nepal & Northern India, Botswana, Namibia & South Africa.
4) Budget
Grant amounts range from $500 to $5,000.
