Ken Wilson, Executive Director of Christensen Fund quotes:
"By enabling indigenous organizations worldwide to identifypotential sources of grant funds this Guide beautifully addresses animportant reason why foundations and indigenous people have so rarelybeen able to partner directly, despite the needs and opportunities. TheChristensen Fund is distributing the Guide among its grantees aroundthe world to help them identify foundation’s with common interests andto begin to diversify their funding. We would encourage otherfoundations to do likewise."
