Dear Friend,
Tomorrow, December 31, is the last day of the tax year, and every charitable gift you make to Cultural Survival is tax-deductible!
Your support helps us to amplify Indigenous voices, leadership, and grassroots solutions to address the world’s most pressing problems including climate change, economic destruction, food insecurity, human rights violations, and more. Together, hand in hand, we are seeing change happen and co-creating that change. Your donation is an act of solidarity, ([link removed]) and in turn is helping to restore traditional ways of being and knowing which includes the revitalization of Indigenomics ([link removed]) , Indigenous economics. Our economies are rooted in Indigenous values, cosmovisions, traditional knowledge, and millennial-old practices and are based on gifting and reciprocity, which maintains balance between Peoples, across ecosystems and in the natural world at large.
In Cultural Survival’s Indigenizing Philanthropy series ([link removed]) , our Executive Director, Galina Angarova (Buryat), and Director of Strategic Partnerships and Communications, Daisee Francour (Oneida), share, “We do not take more than we need and we always give a gift in return, sometimes medicine, song, prayers, and more. Because modern philanthropy is interwoven into capitalism, extractive transactions have disrupted the true purpose of philanthropy — the act of giving out of abundance to promote the welfare and quality of life for others. A gift economy means living in a state of abundance and that sharing excess, ensures balance in the natural world and equity amongst people.”
For us to collectively shift from scarcity to abundance, we need to walk together with compassion, radical love, empathy, and intention. We invite you to join us, ([link removed]) as we travel this world together and be guided by Indigenous Peoples, the originators of the gifting economy.
Your donation ([link removed]) will directly support Indigenous communities around the globe to organize, mobilize, and defend Indigenous rights, lands, cultures, spiritual traditions, artistic expressions, languages, and self-determination.
Support Indigenous rights by making your tax-deductible donation today! ([link removed])
Thank you from our entire Cultural Survival Team!
