About

On February 23, at 10:00 am (PT) / 11:00 am (MT) / 12:00 pm (CT) / 1:00 pm (ET), join our moderator, Stephine “Steph” Poston (Pueblo of Sandia), and philanthropic changemakers, Sutton King (Menominee/Oneida), the Hon. Tammi Lambert (Jicarilla Apache Nation), and Darius Lee Smith (Navajo and Black) as they share their personal experiences and discuss how philanthropy can better understand and support the issues facing our Black and Afro-Indigenous relatives.

About the Series: 

Native Americans in Philanthropy welcomes you to engage in a gathering of nonprofits, philanthropy, emerging leaders, and Native communities for discussions and collaborative action for building philanthropy rooted in Native traditions and values.

This session is a highlight of our membership benefits and future sessions may be closed to the public. For more information on NAP Memberships, please email Rod Jacobs at rjacobs@nativephilanthropy.org.

Our curated education sessions of virtual conversations, panels, and speakers represent the diversity of Indian Country and the experiences of Indigenous Peoples in what is now known as America. These sessions are designed for NAP members working in philanthropy and will focus on how philanthropy can operate differently to center Indigenous perspectives.

Through these sessions, NAP is passing the mic to individuals, Tribes, and Native nonprofits who are experts in their respective fields. This platform will foster an informed membership that will lead the shifting of the philanthropic sector in deeper, more impactful ways that serve the people, communities, and causes they care about.
