“Fostering Local to Global Partnerships:
Setting the Agenda for the Future of Indigenous Philanthropy”
Santa Fe, New Mexico
April 3-5, 2009
IFIP is pleased to announce that our annual conference will take place in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico, and that this year’s theme is “Fostering Local to Global Partnerships: Setting the Agenda for the Future of Indigenous Philanthropy”. This year’s conference will feature several pre-site visits on April 1-2 to the surrounding native communities and will have sessions highlighting three tracks that cover current issues in: Climate Change & Water Issues, Indigenous Rights, Sovereignty & Self Determination and Strengthening Indigenous Philanthropy. We have plans for a movie night, traditional dances and an eventful reception at the well known Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) Museum.
On April 5th, IFIP will have joint sessions with its sister affinity member, Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP) whose mission is to foster development and self determination in native communities through philanthropy. As part of the joint day we plan to have a World Café Dialogue which will give us an opportunity to redefine Native giving and philanthropy: a discussion of emerging and traditional practices. This will be an opportunity for all IFIP and NAP constituents to be in the room together, and in mixed tables, sharing and discussing, answering questions, listening, reflecting and building wisdom together. We then will break the group into two parts: a workshop for grantseekers to build upon their skills to become more effective and a session for donors to develop some basic principles for grantmakers that work in native communities nationally and internationally, which will be endorsed by NAP and IFIP and sent to the philanthropic community. We also plan to hold a joint Award’s dinner honoring several leaders in philanthropy and an auction night.

"International Funders for Indigenous Peoples is doing a beautiful job of trying to make U.S. grantmaking more informed, accessible, and respectful. As an organization that works with indigenous peoples throughout Latin America, we greatly appreciate the resource that IFIP is."
