Seeds of solidarity:Black & Indigenous Youth Shaping Inclusion in Philanthr

We are pleased to invite you to The Seeds of Solidarity: Black and Indigenous Youth Shaping Inclusion in Philanthropy, an upcoming community gathering taking place during Black History Month, a time to honour Black histories, contributions, and ongoing movements for justice.

This event will celebrate the projects supported through the Indigenous and Black Youth Community Action Grant and is dedicated to uplifting Black and Indigenous youth who are already leading transformative work in their communities. By creating space for youth to document, reflect on, and archive their experiences, challenges, and successes, we aim to strengthen collective strategies rooted in solidarity, care, and action. This process will amplify youth voices while supporting their ability to navigate and challenge inequitable systems.

Funders will be invited to participate as learners, engaging with the expertise of Black and Indigenous youth in a spirit of humility and reflection. Together, we hope to explore what meaningful, youth-centered funding can look like in practice.

The gathering will also foster connection and collaboration among youth leaders, encouraging shared learning and collective strategy-building. Following the event, a report will be produced with every youth participant recognized as a co-author, ensuring their contributions are valued, documented, and preserved as part of this ongoing work.
