In this session, members of the Kindle Project Indigenous Women’s Flow Fund (IWFF) will share their experience within the participatory grantmaking/flow funding space. Through collective conversations, they will explore how participatory grantmaking models can be a site of empowerment, healing, and community-building. Join us as we learn from their wisdom of building and practicing decolonized people-powered giving models.

IWFF is an Indigenous-led grantmaking program that nourishes community-sourced initiatives and offers solutions and alternatives to systems in crisis. Grounded in trust-based philanthropic approaches, IWFF brings together five Indigenous women from across the United States, for a three-year period, to be decision-makers over grantmaking dollars and shape the program according to their vision.
