IFIP, FIMI, and AWID came together in 2014 realizing there is a gap in conversation, backed up by research around funding for women’s organizing within indigenous communities. The result is “A Call to Action: Insights into the Status of Funding for Indigenous Women’s Groups”.
This timely report by International Funders for Indigenous Peoples (IFIP), International Indigenous Women’s Forum (FIMI), and AWID has been written at a moment when donor interest in funding Indigenous communities is on the rise. Initial research from the Foundation Center shows that from 2007 to 2012, funding for Indigenous peoples skyrocketed from $41.4 million to $83.2 million.
