World Food Day, Oct 16th
2020 Food Security Action Fund Kick-off
A critical part of the 2020 Fund mission is to drive strategic philanthropy that supports Campaign 2020’s Sustainable Earth goals.
On October 16th, World Food Day, the 2020 Fund launches the 2020 Food Security Action Fund to support organizations that are providing leadership and action to achieve healthful and sustainable food production.
Indigenous Peoples’ Stories of Climate Change
Mitigating the impacts of climate change on food security for the world’s most vulnerable populations, Indigenous Peoples, is our first priority. We are honored to partner with First Peoples Worldwide.
We are highlighting work supported by First Peoples Worldwide’s small grants programs. Strategic grants are made to Indigenous community-led projects that address challenges of Food Security and Climate Change. Solutions leverage the communities’ intrinsic assets — including traditional knowledge; land and biodiversity; people, and culture — to create innovative and lasting solutions. All grantees track and report on progress using First Peoples’ rigorous and culturally-relevant measurement tools.
We highlight the work of 6 grantees:
- Asia Pacific Indigenous Youth Network/ORNUS
- Arctic Health Research Network
- Arctic Athabaskan Tribal Council
- Literacy Action Development Association
- Sarstoon Temash Institute for Indigenous Management (SATIIM)
- Foundation for Sustainable Development of Altai
- Locally Managed Marine Area Network
Please donate generously to the 2020 Food Security Action Fund. Donations are tax deductible and will directly support First Peoples Worldwide grantees and this 2020 Fund capacity-building initiative.
