Indigenous Communities

Solving for economic, energy, food, cultural, and health sovereignty for Indigenous communities in the United States and Canada.

Each year the Indigenous Communities Fellowship selects 6-8 innovators who are using traditional knowledge and technology to drive positive impact in Indigenous communities anywhere in the United States and Canada, including territories. The Fellowship provides a 9-month program of support that includes funding, a comprehensive resource needs assessment, technical & business mentorship, and tailored connections to a network of companies, foundations, NGOs, and more. At the center of the Fellowship is a peer community of practice, celebrating and supporting Indigenous brilliance, resilience, and ingenuity.
