Increasing Impact Through Collaboration

When groups working in isolation on similar issues come together, it offers unique opportunities to accelerate change. Our grants, totaling $600,000 over four years, supports MakeWay’s creation of an Arctic Indigenous Stewardship Network focused on coordinating Inuit- and Dene-led efforts across the Canadian North to monitor and care for the land. By housing and convening local partners to share knowledge, best practices, and to collaborate on advocacy efforts, MakeWay intends to increase the overall reach and effectiveness of these groups. The work also adds to the body of knowledge that informs climate change adaptation.
