Na’ah Illahee reinvests in and provides resources for Native communities throughout the Northwest corner of Turtle Island, from the Arctic to the Rockies, through funding Indigenous-led projects and providing community-responsive support, technical assistance, and leadership development.
Our community is the best at addressing our own needs, but we often lack the resources to implement solutions. Na’ah Illahee Fund’s programming seeks to elevate Indigenous women who are committed to strengthening balanced connections with the land and waters of Mother Earth, supporting all our relations. This enables us to strategically invest directly in Indigenous communities and uphold people who are already doing good work. The goal of this work is to build traditional ecological and modern knowledge, skills, and leadership while developing community-based solutions for environmental and climate justice.
We award grants that reach those most vulnerable in hard-to-reach places and who are at risk of severe climate change impacts. We aim to support those populations with little or no access to resources.
