Who are we?

Indigenous Rights Fund is an international initiative working to advance long-term justice and legal protection for Indigenous Peoples.
We support strategic legal action, partnerships, and systems-level change that address the root causes of injustice—not just its symptoms.

Our work is grounded in justice, integrity, professionalism, and deep respect for Indigenous knowledge and leadership. We aim to strengthen legal frameworks and institutional safeguards through principled, independent, and solution-oriented work.

We envision a world where Indigenous Peoples are empowered to protect their rights, cultures, and lands through effective legal frameworks and international solidarity.

By fostering strategic partnerships and elevating Indigenous leadership, we strive to build a future where justice is not just an ideal but a reality—rooted in respect, equity, and lasting change and a world where Indigenous Peoples Rights are universally upheld.

We prioritize supporting strategic legal initiatives that aim to protect and advance Indigenous Peoples’ rights on a global scale.

Our current focus areas include:

• Legal empowerment and capacity building for Indigenous communities 
• Strategic litigation and advocacy addressing land and resource rights 
• Strengthening international cooperation and partnerships for systemic justice 

We welcome innovative proposals and collaborations that align with our values of justice, respect, and integrity, and that can create meaningful, lasting impact.
