Indigenous Food Systems Community of Practice Alumni Circle
May 14, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm PDT
The Indigenous Food Systems Community of Practice (IFSCoP) is a learning and relationship-building cohort for funders interested in advancing support for Native-led food systems work. Developed by Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders, First Nations Development Institute, and Melvin Consulting PLLC, this program brings funders together to engage directly with Indigenous leaders, deepen understanding of structural and philanthropic barriers in Indian Country, and build more effective strategies for supporting Native food sovereignty and sustainable agriculture. The IFSCoP has been offered every other year since 2021.
Alumni of the Indigenous Food Systems Community of Practice are invited to join a virtual gathering bringing together Cohorts 1 and 2! This is an opportunity to reconnect, share experiences, and hear updates on how IFSCoP alumni are engaging in Indigenous food systems work, especially in today’s evolving funding landscape across Indian Country.
This virtual gathering is open to past IFSCoP participants only. Stay tuned for more information about Cohort 3 launching in 2026!
