We recognize that creating enduring change takes time, and involves much more than granting, including strategic convening across sectors, and solutions finance. The Foundation’s current areas of focus and emerging initiatives include Food and Health care, Indigenous Reconciliation, Cities for People, and social innovation and entrepreneurship in higher education. We're especially interested in the NMFCCC because of the way that it combines community development including in indigenous communities, sustainable food and food security, health and social enterprise. We value the approach taken by the collaborative and the opportunity it provides to learn with community partners. |

We at Harbinger are so inspired with the determination of northern peoples to be self-sufficient and to recover from years of damage due to colonization. Sometimes a little support from outside funders, at the right time, with the right leaders, enables positive change. We have learned as funders that it is not about the money - it is more about the relationships which involves listening and respect. |
