International Funders for Indigenous Peoples seeks to transform the relationship between the funding world and Indigenous Peoples to one of mutual understanding and benefit. false false 275342 In August 2016 the following joint report, a collaboration between IFIP, FIMI, and AWID was published, A Call to Action: Insights into the Status of Funding for Indigenous Womens Groups. The report provides philanthropy with research, case studies and the opportunity to open a dialogue and space for recommendations on how the donor community can more effectively support Indigenous Womens organizations. In September 2016, IFIP held the Latin America Indigenous Funders conference in Lima, Peru that was attended by a diverse array of leaders from the donor, Indigenous, NGO communities. Conference sessions were organized under four strategic Tracks: i) Investing in Indigenous Models of Sustainable Development; ii) Protecting Ancestral Territories and Indigenous Rights; iii) Walking in Two Worlds: Why Indigenous Wisdom Will Be Vital to Our Future; and iv) The How To: Strategies for Support. Also, the conference included site visits for funders to Indigenous communities in the Amazon and the Andean region, an important Security and Well-being workshop, and the Indigenous Womens hub. In January 2017, IFIP adopted a new Strategic Framework. The new framework responds to our stakeholders input and sets the stage to strengthen IFIP and its programs at a time when collaboration and commitment to advancing Indigenous issues is imperative. As a theory of change IFIP accelerates the self-determined development of Indigenous Peoples through improving the responsiveness of Indigenous Peoples funding. Starting in 2017 our new Strategic Framework will guide our efforts. Key among these is the need to increase the funding available for the work of Indigenous Peoples organizations to realize their life plans and secure their rights as Indigenous Peoples.In May 2017, IFIP held the Pacific Regional Hui in Otaki, New Zealand that Pacific Regional meeting held in Otaki New Zealand. This marked the first time IFIP met in the Pacific to bring together a dynamic array of Indigenous leaders, NGOs, and donor organizations to highlight why philanthropic funding to Indigenous Peoples is critical to strengthen and realize indigenous communities life plans and self-determined development. Our conference theme was Remembering Our Past, Reclaiming Our Future Resilience, Climate Change and Indigenous Practices for Sustainability. The Pacific Regional conference served as a reminder to philanthropy of the value of deep listening, the need to recognize each others wisdom, and how these are critical for building reciprocal partnerships. Finally, the conference highlighted to philanthropy the importance of relationships and honoring each other as equals to work towards a shared vision. 275342 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 9 0 false 3 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false true false false true false false false true true true true true true true false false CA X X X Lourdes Inga 4155807982 Presidio Bldg 1009 San Francisco CA 94129 Anne Henshaw Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Brown Co-Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrea Dobson Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Morton Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Angela Martinez Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Manaia King Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Yumi Sera Co-Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sonja Swift Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Galina Angarova Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Kostishack Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lourdes Inga Interim Ex Dir 40.00 0.00 X 46920 0 0 Evelyn Arce Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 116684 0 0 163604 1 true false false 0 306028 306028 Earned Income 112478 112478 Membership Dues & Assessments 37326 37326 Other Income 384 384 150188 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 456216 112862 37326 X 0 0 0 0 46920 24868 10791 11261 0 58489 30999 13453 14037 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 220308 112357 57280 50671 0 0 0 0 14560 10629 1747 2184 121056 60528 31475 29053 0 20658 20658 299 299 0 0 0 Printing, postage, & bank fees 15558 12291 1089 2178 Other operating costs 7532 3012 3766 754 0 505380 275342 119900 110138 285578 117799 0 0 110000 154243 0 0 0 0 0 2809 1859 950 0 0 0 0 16855 0 412433 272992 12537 7260 12537 7260 X 144396 26239 255500 239493 399896 265732 412433 272992 -49164 -85000 X false true X true false X 238407 217828 299615 496952 343354 1596156 7035 71602 243137 8354 112862 442990 0 0 0 245442 289430 542752 505306 456216 2039146 0 0 2039146 54 54 0 54 54 0 0 245496 289430 542752 505306 456216 2039200 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2809 1859 950 950 X 456216 456216 456216 505380 505380 505380 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
