This collaboration site has been created as a space for dialogue and sharing around Aboriginal-focused philanthropy in Canada. A place where foundations and other philanthropic grantmakers can connect to the larger issues and solutions through access to new research, stories, events and a network of fellow grantmakers. By better linking our efforts, we hope to have a greater impact and understanding of peoples, communities, issues and perspectives: Inuit, Metis and First Nations, north and south, urban and rural.
This report is a summary of a gathering that took place in Winnipeg, Manitoba on June 10 & 11, 2008. The gathering marked the first time philanthropic foundations have assembled together with the aim to better understand Aboriginal peoples, communities and issues in Canada. This event was the start of a journey toward greater understanding, toward improving effectiveness in Aboriginal-focused philanthropy, and as a starting point to network and collaborate around Aboriginal Peoples’ ideas and initiatives over the long term.
