Support Indigenous Peoples' Rights on #GivingTuesday and Double Your Impact!
Today is the day!
#GivingTuesday, a global day of giving, runs through midnight tonight! We hope that we can count on your generosity so that, together, we can continue to amplify Indigenous voices around the globe as Indigenous communities organize and defend their lands, cultures, spiritual traditions, artistic expressions, languages and self-determination.
SPECIAL MATCH OPPORTUNITY!
In recognition of #GivingTuesday, our Board of Directors has agreed to match up to $40,000 in GivingTuesday donations to support Cultural Survival and to honor Indigenous Peoples around the world. All gifts up to $40,000 will be matched dollar for dollar!
2019 was a significant year for us!
- The Community Media Grants Project provides opportunities for International Indigenous radio stations to strengthen their broadcast infrastructure and systems, and provide training opportunities in journalism, broadcasting, audio editing, technical skills and more to Indigenous community radio journalists around the world. Over the past year, with your support, we funded 35 media projects in 9 countries, totaling $210,000.
- The Keepers of the Earth Fund is a small grants fund that supports Indigenous Peoples’ community advocacy and development projects. We awarded 20 projects in 10 countries, totaling $79,864.
Also in 2019, together, we:
- Supported 6 groups of Indigenous Community Media Youth Fellows from Nicaragua, Colombia, Guatemala and Ecuador in building capacity in media, journalism, radio production, advocacy skills, technical abilities, and regional networking.
- Submitted 8 reports on Indigenous Peoples' rights violations to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) and UN Treaty Bodies in El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, and the U.S.
- Trained 80+ Indigenous women in radio production and radio journalism.
