The Lyndon Foundation
The Lyndon Foundation aims to preserve the traditional skill of Navajo silversmithing by empowering the next generation of artisans. With the art of Navajo silversmithing dying out, it is crucial to create pathways to transfer the knowledge of silversmithing to future generations of Native artisans. The foundation was founded by Lyndon Tsosie, an award-winning Silversmith artisan with over 30 years of experience. By preserving the art of silversmithing the foundation aims to keep a heritage alive and strengthen the community.

The Waipa Foundation
The Waipā Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit established in 1994. The organization and its work evolved from the activism of Hawaiian families in the early 1980ʻs to save Waipā valley from resort development. Waipā’s mission is to restore the valleyʻs vibrant natural systems and resources and inspire healthy, thriving communities connected to their resources. Waipā’s target communities are Native Hawaiians, multi-generational families of Kauaʽi’s north shore, and the community of practice who share our core values and work.
Tiwahe Foundation
Tiwahe creates pathways for American Indian people to reach their own goals, on their own terms, in this critical moment for defining how Native cultures, languages, and ways of being will live and grow in the coming generations.
We do this through our flagship micro-granting program (AIFEP), and through our Oyate Leadership Network (OLN), a network weaving and leadership development program that centers the cultural needs of our Indigenous leaders in Minnesota.
OLN is a source of community healing through culture and language, recognizing that reciprocal, mutualistic relationships and traditional ways of knowing are critical tools for rebuilding pathways of community care.
