The Indigenous Peoples Funding and Resource Guide, which was developed in collaboration with International Funders for Indigenous Peoples and First Peoples Worldwide, has been distributed to hundreds of Indigenous communities and nonprofit organizations in both English and Spanish. The Funding and Resource Guide helps build the capacity for Indigenous communities to increase their participation as successful grant-seekers. It contains practical information that includes the elements of a proposal; how to conduct foundation research; useful research websites; glossary of fundraising terms; and information on more than 250 foundations, corporations, and government agencies who provide funding for Indigenous and grassroots projects.
Ken Wilson, Executive Director of Christensen Fund quotes:
"By enabling indigenous organizations worldwide to identify potential sources of grant funds this Guide beautifully addresses an important reason why foundations and indigenous people have so rarely been able to partner directly, despite the needs and opportunities. The Christensen Fund is distributing the Guide among its grantees around the world to help them identify foundation's with common interests and to begin to diversify their funding. We would encourage other foundations to do likewise."
The Guide contains seven primary sections:
Elements of a Proposal, provides a brief description of what a proposal contains and examples for each section.
Researching Foundations, provides a step-by-step guide on how to conduct foundation research.
Research Websites, provides information on various websites that can assist you in your fundraising endeavors.
Glossary of Terms, provides definitions of key words found in proposal guidelines, elements of a proposal and other important terms.
Foundation and Corporate Grantmakers Funding Indigenous People, contains funding organizations that directly fund Indigenous organizations and projects worldwide.
International Foundation and Corporate Grantmakers, includes philanthropic institutions that fund in various countries and regions of the world.
Index of Regions, contains an index of the various regions and countries and the page number within the Guide where information on the funder can be found for a particular country or region of the world.

International Funders for Indigenous Peoples Strives to Protect Pristine Environments
by Evelyn Arce-White, International Funders for Indigenous Peoples From Enviromental Grantmakers Association Summer 2005 Issue
Land preservation efforts by indigenous peoples are a struggle that spans the generations. Yet the plight of ancient peoples to preserve pristine ecosystems generally goes unnoticed. This is the reality of the nearly 370 million indigenous peoples in more than 70 countries worldwide, whose involvement stems from a deeply inherent and sacred relationship with the land. more
