** Meet our 2024 Keepers of the Earth Fund Grant Partners
------------------------------------------------------------

The Keepers of the Earth Fund (KOEF) is proud to announce our 2024 partnerships with Indigenous communities. At Cultural Survival, we value cultivating long-term relationships with our partners by supporting Indigenous projects related to community empowerment for the defense of land and autonomy; strengthening of Indigenous languages, cultures, and knowledge systems; conservation of Indigenous land and livelihoods in the face of climate change; and resistance to negative impacts from mining for the “green” energy transition.

The Keepers of the Earth Fund is an Indigenous-led fund at Cultural Survival designed to strengthen Indigenous Peoples' advocacy and community development projects globally. Since 2017, we have supported 392 projects in 40 countries through small grants and a wrap-around approach totaling $2,219,369. Grants go directly to Indigenous communities, collectives, organizations, and traditional governments to support projects they designed and in accordance with their Indigenous values. Predicated on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Cultural Survival uses a rights-based approach in our grantmaking strategies to support grassroots Indigenous solutions through the equitable distribution of resources to Indigenous communities.

In 2024, in our eighth year of operations, we supported 83 Indigenous projects and collectives for a total amount of $614,222. The funds were sent directly to Indigenous communities, collectives, and grassroots organizations in 25 countries.

The following list summarizes the projects supported by KOEF in 2024 that relate to the defense of the territory and the fight for Indigenous rights, such as autonomy and self-determination. These are specific projects that are part of broader processes of Indigenous communities, organized to resist the dangers that threaten their territorial and political existence. In addition, five Indigenous rights defenders who face criminalization for their work are included.
