Description:
Indigenous peoples in Brazil and especially in the Western part of the Brazilian Amazon have fragile livelihoods. Their hold on their territories and the natural resources within them tends to be vulnerable, and most Indigenous organizations struggle to access resources that can help them address territorial management issues and build more sustainable income sources. The IAF strengthens the ability of local philanthropic organizations to carry out effective programming and unlock additional public and private resources for long-term development. Our grantee Federao das Organizaes Indgenas do Rio Negro (FIRN-FOIRN) - Fundo Indgena do Rio Negro will provide small grants to Indigenous organizations and establish a feedback system that enhances its role as an Indigenous-led community philanthropy organization, recognized for mobilizing resources to this community. The grant advances the IAFs strategic initiative to expand the resources available for grassroots development by promoting locally-rooted community philanthropy as well as the strategic initiative to promote the economic and social inclusion and human rights of historically marginalized populations.
