Philanthropy That Heals.

 

Grantmaking with a cultural lens

  • Mission

    The Good Relatives Collaborative provides responsive grants to grassroots and Native led organizations engaged in community-powered solutions.

  • Values

    Co-Create: Working in partnership with communities to shift the narrative from (to me) to (by me) through recognition of a communities’ assets and opportunities.

    Asset Mapping: Focusing on abundance by identifying a communities’ physical assets, natural resources, informal and formal community groups, associations, institutions, skills, talents, and capacities of individual community members, and economic flows in and out of the community.

    Intentional Collaboration: Recognizing we all have work to do in decolonizing, disrupting, and dismantling the current funding practices rooted in competition.

    Transparency and Accountability: Always do the work as if the community is present.

The Good Relatives Collaborative is a new participatory grantmaking partnership that builds and heals commmunity.
