The first affinity groups were formed in the early 1980s and provide opportunities for grantmakers with common interests to meet each other, share knowledge and encourage collaborative funding. Some affinity groups are formed around the identity of the population served. Some are formed around particular grant issue areas. Still others are formed around position and function. Native Americans in Philanthropy is one of the Identity Based Affinity Group. To Register and for more information, please visit: www.cof.org. Registration Deadline is July 23, 2007.

The Native American and philanthropic communities of Minnesota existed together before organized philanthropy began. Since the early 1990s, Tribal philanthropy has increased significantly and Native professionals have joined as staff and board members of Minnesota foundations, but gaps still persist. This summit will look at a recent mapping and research report documenting the assets in Native communities and the resources available to strengthen them, as well as focus on solutions to the gap and to identify future actions and policies that can contribute to the quality of life of the Native American community in Minnesota.
