Please join Native American in Philanthropy on Wednesday, July 24 at 1:00 PM ET for a very special economic development conversation delving into the distinct roles of government and philanthropy. The discussion will begin with the Treasurer of the United States, Chief Lynn Malerba (Mohegan), and NAP’s CEO, Erik R. Stegman (Carry the Kettle First Nation - Nakoda). This encompassing conversation will be immediately followed by a conversation between Chris James (Eastern Cherokee), President of the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development, and the Native American Finance Officers Association’s President, Chairman Rodney Butler (Mashantucket Pequot).

About the Series:

 Native Americans in Philanthropy welcomes you to engage in a gathering of nonprofits, philanthropy, emerging leaders, and Indigenous communities for discussions and collaborative action for building philanthropy rooted in Native traditions and values.

Our curated education sessions of virtual conversations, panels, and speakers represent the diversity of Indian Country and the experiences of Indigenous Peoples in what is now known as America. These sessions are designed for NAP members working in philanthropy and will focus on how philanthropy can operate differently to center Indigenous perspectives.

 Through these sessions, NAP is passing the mic to individuals, Tribes, and Indigenous-led nonprofits who are experts in their respective fields. This platform will foster an informed membership that will lead the shifting of the philanthropic sector in deeper, more impactful ways that serve the people, communities, and causes they care about.
