Founded in 1999, the Fund of the Sacred Circle is a community-led grantmaking fund driven by Native values. This $1 million investment will support 20 Native-led organizations throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin for 2 years to lead critical work addressing systemic injustices affecting Native Nations and Communities. Each grantee will receive a 2-year general operating grant of $25,000 per year, for a total of $50,000. This year’s grantmaking total of $1 million is the largest investment in Native-led organizations in the Fund’s history.
This year’s grantees are:
These grantees are doing critical work that includes language and cultural revitalization; reclamation of traditional lifeways; protection of environment, waters, foodways, and land; community investment and cultivation and more
Grantees were selected by the Native Community Grantmaking Circle, an intergenerational assembly of Native leaders from diverse Native Nations and Communities throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.
As we announce our newest grantees and grantmakers, we also invite you to join us in reflecting on the legacy of the Fund of the Sacred Circle. Now in its 25th year, the Fund remains rooted in the founding vision of Native elders, activists, leaders, and allies who sought to push back against the historical disinvestment of Native communities.
Head to our website to learn more about this year’s grantees, the Native community members who chose them, and history of the FSC that guided and inspired them.
