| Program Description / Purpose: |
Seventh Generation Fund’s approach to Native community revitalization is firmly based on the premise that Native peoples know and understand the issues of their tribal communities. SGF recognizes that accessing financial and technical support, capacity building opportunities, and other useful resources is often critical to long-term planning, organizational development and project success. Equipped with skills, necessary support and other resources, SGF believes that Indigenous communities and grassroots leaders can envision, develop and implement culturally-meaningful and ecologically-sound remedies to solve the many challenges they face.
