MATCH EXTENDED! 

Our long-time donors, Ranganath and Sandy Nayak, have generously offered to extend our matching challenge, matching dollar-for-dollar all donations made by June 15 up to $5,000. Help us unlock this match challenge!


Ranaganth Nayak shares why he supports Cultural Survival, "I believe working to uplift and promote the cultures of Indigenous Peoples is the most important human rights work there is because of the harm the world has inflicted on Indigenous communities, and because of the wisdom Indigenous people possess, which can immensely benefit the world.”



Every day we work to respect, protect, and fulfill the rights of Indigenous Peoples. We have dedicated the last 49 years to partnering with Indigenous communities across the world to assert their rights in protecting their lands, languages, and cultures. It is because of the ongoing financial commitment of our donors that have enabled us to have major impact, for example by bringing a groundbreaking case on the right to freedom of expression of Indigenous Peoples to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, supporting 49 Indigenous youth media fellows, as well as distributing grants to 267 Indigenous communities totaling over $1.6 million dollars.
 

We are so grateful to generous supporters like Ranganath and Sandy who have been there for us over the past five decades and are thrilled to welcome new donors to our Cultural Survival community. 

Don’t miss this chance to support Indigenous leadership and grassroots solutions today!
