NDN Collective
Based out of the beautiful Black Hills on Oceti Sakowin Territory, NDN Collective provides the most ambitious systemic approach to empowering Indigenous communities in the history of philanthropy and impact investing. The change, liberation, and justice we seek requires the lived experiences and leadership of Indigenous Peoples, and the significant redistribution of resources by those currently overseeing the concentration of wealth. Our core programming consists of grantmaking, narrative amplification, predevelopment support, and low-interest investments, community organizing, and power building. Mission Build the collective power of Indigenous Peoples, communities, and Nations to exercise our inherent right to self-determination, while fostering a world that is built on a foundation of justice and equity for all people and Mother Earth.www.ndncollective.org
