Integrated Capital Investing

Over the past 14 years, I have been working to ally myself with Indigenous Peoples both on Turtle Island and globally through grantmaking, advocacy, peer coaching and investing work. It has been my honor to fund many Indigenous communities and allies at the Swift Foundation from 2011-19 and since then I have become more active in promoting and supporting Indigenous leaders who are accessing finance (grants and investments) for self-determination and sovereignty. I have collaborated with Kate Finn of First Peoples Worldwide and others on a research report called Indigenizing Catalytic Capital and I have been coordinating a list of transformative finance vehicles through Collective Action for Just Finance / The Transformative 25 List which includes many Indigenous-led Funds. A life long student, I look forward to listening, learning and being in community with you.
