🎙️ "While human dignity is an important underlying value and motivation in our work, we aspire to go beyond that. We aim to incorporate human dignity concretely into our project activities," shares Tony Castleman from Catholic Relief Services (CRS). At IDinsight, we share that vision. A vision where dignity is more than just a value — it’s upheld in real-world contexts and embedded in every intervention we design. And through our partnership with CRS, we’re testing dignity-focused initiatives to show how. Together, we’re working to set a new standard for the development sector where dignity is central to its mission. 🔗 Learn more about our partnership in our 2024 Dignity Report: https://lnkd.in/ghy35rJw

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay, a day of reflection and celebration. For those of us in US #nonprofit and #philanthropy spaces, it can also be a time to consider the intersection of our work and Native communities and causes. Consider these stats from Native Americans in Philanthropy and Candid (https://lnkd.in/erwKmBi): ◼ From 2002 to 2016, large US foundations gave, on average, 0.4% of total annual funding to Native American communities and causes ◼ 20% of large foundations give to Native communities and causes. Even among this specific group, most give only one or two grants. ◼ The majority of grant dollars are for program support (56%); only 15% goes to general operating support 💡 Important takeaways for improving support include providing long-term general operating support to Native-led organizations, and pursuing Native-led solutions.
