What we do

Gathering Allies provides financial and logistical support to Indigenous groups working to revitalize their culture and re-occupy their traditional lands. Our current geographic area of focus is the lands and waters of Indigenous Nations of the Pacific Northwest.

We aim to maintain a Solidarity Fund that both well-established and newly-formed initiatives can draw from when immediate needs arise. We recognize that the funds raised by grassroots Indigenous-led campaigns are often quickly allocated for a specific established purpose and our goal is to have a reliable fund available for critical, immediate, and potentially unanticipated needs.
