Global
The Christensen Fund’s Global Program is its longest-running program. Our global portfolio is composed of partners who are advancing the rights of Indigenous Peoples at various policy-making tables, Indigenous-led funds, and regional alliances with deep local roots and experience.
Some of the key issues our partners focus on include:
Addressing threats to lands and territories, communities, and leaders Advocating for free, prior, and informed consent Supporting Indigenous organizations and networks in building their institutional infrastructure Strengthening Indigenous-led fund mechanisms and other forms of self governance

Podáali is an Indigenous-led fund that was created by The Coordination of Organizations of the Brazilian Amazon. Their mission is to promote and strengthen autonomy, Indigenous rights, territorial and environmental management, and to capture, manage, and transfer resources to Indigenous Peoples, organizations and communities in the Brazilian Amazon. Podáali, in the language of the Baniwa people, means “to donate without wanting to receive anything in return.” It is synonymous with celebration, reciprocity, and the promotion of sustainability for the well-being of Indigenous Peoples.
