Nia Tero Foundation

Expand: amplification and scaling:in order to expand recognition and support for indigenous guardianship worldwide, nia tero is pursuing three ongoing bodies of work that integrate both our place-anchored partnerships as well indigenous peoples, as well as aligned organizations, networks and initiatives, outside of those partnerships. first, through grantmaking, convening and direct technical support to indigenous peoples and their chosen allies, we provide support to strengthen policy frameworks, security and self-governance of indigenous peoples. second, through strategic convening and facilitation, as well as targeted grantmaking and fundraising, we are working to increase direct financing for indigenous guardianship. and lastly, through compelling (continued on schedule o) storytelling and communications, we support the elevation of voice, ways and means of indigenous peoples to increase awareness of indigenous guardianship and inspire change.

Other program services: all of nia tero's work is done through and with others, from the indigenous peoples who inspire and lead us, to our founding partners and like-minded institutions. nia tero has been working with regional and global advisors, place-anchored partners, and like-minded institutions to design and develop strategies that will help us achieve our mission.

Science and learning:nia tero is committed to gathering knowledge that can enable measurement of the impact of our partnerships through both standard social and ecological indicators as well as indicators of well-being defined by our indigenous partners themselves. this includes developing systems that combine traditional environmental metrics with biocultural metrics that are defined and measured by our indigenous partners.
