Lifting Up Community Leaders

We know that innovative solutions lie in the brilliance of our people, and we work to lift up our community leaders to draw upon deep resilience and to realize their dreams. Education and skill sharing, strengths and asset mapping, strategic planning, networking, and resourcing are the components of successful community building.

Na’ah Illahee Fund serves as a bridge builder, facilitator, and resource partner as we work to catalyze a movement toward positive futures. Our scope of impact includes urban, rural, island, and reservation-based Indigenous communities from the Arctic to the Rockies in what is now known as Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

Leadership Programs

Featured Program

Since our beginning in 2008, we’ve supported organizations and individuals in building their ability to shift power within the environmental movement. We believe everyone has a role in this evolution. We work with people of all backgrounds and identities while centering the leadership of communities most impacted by environmental racism. We were founded and continue to be led by Indigenous, Black and People of Color.
