Native Americans in Philanthropy

NAP is a Native-led organization that is reshaping the philanthropic sector.

By applying Indigenous values, such as reciprocity and intergenerational support, they build more respectful, meaningful, and trusting relationships in philanthropy.

NAP was seeking support from a partner who could understand their goals and help create a path on how to achieve them with a merger of two defined teams. DDP has been instrumental in helping develop the brand into a cohesive framework that supports the multi-disciplinary approaches that NAP has to its work.

By developing a solid understanding of NAP’s goals, team resources, and operational landscape, DDP has been supporting a wide range of projects that include brand expansion, reporting, website design and conference work.

Long term partnerships have the unique opportunity to engrain understanding in an outside team, where new perspectives can be fundamental in creating market interest, propelling thought leadership, and encouraging monetary support at all levels.

As of 2023, 15 Funders committed $102.5 million to support the Tribal Nations Conservation Pledge goals launched by the Native Americans in Philanthropy and the Biodiversity Funders Group.
