Philanthropic partners, both foundations and individual donors, are working with the Colorado Plateau Foundation to support Native communities. Our foundation partners include The David & Lucile Packard Foundation, The Christensen Fund, Entertainment Industries Foundation, Santa Fe Community Foundation, Swift Foundation, Arizona Community Foundation, and the Levinson Foundation, and Patagonia, among others.

The dynamics on the Plateau are complicated, and our familiarity and understanding of the issues in the region helps funders understand the power of Native organizations to drive change. We share our theory of change with foundations and individual donors to help them better understand how tribal-driven work fits into their portfolio of giving and the relevance of Plateau work to the larger world.
