Leveraging

First Peoples Worldwide’s impact goes beyond financial contributions—our involvement helps projects acquire in-kind donations, volunteer and community support. By funding a project, we help its organizers gain legitimacy through proof of their capacity. In turn, this often helps them to attract further funding.

A sampling of grantee reports revealed that with US$966,709 awarded from Keepers of the Earth Fund, grantees attracted an additional US$16,910,428 because Keepers of the Earth Fund had committed funding to their projects. For roughly 80% of our grantees, Keepers of the Earth Fund is the first funding they have ever received.
