The Amazon Watch Sacred Giving Circle
An Invitation to Defend the Sacred
Giving in a sacred way is central to many indigenous cultures, whether as a means of giving thanks, convening people for a shared purpose, gaining honor, or more equitably distributing resources so that all may survive. In this spirit, we have convened the Sacred Giving Circle, an interconnected circle of supporters with shared values to defend the Sacred Headwaters of the Amazon and keep sacred natural areas free from extraction.
Sacred Giving Circle members commit to bring $25,000 in annual support to our work and partner with us to expand our community and grow our capacity for enacting change.
"It is truly an honor to partner with Amazon Watch and invest in their critical work to defend indigenous rights, the Amazon and the climate for all of our collective future."Monica Winsor, Sacred Giving Circle Member
The Amazon Watch Impact Fund
Amazon Watch calls upon our philanthropic partners to support our Amazon Impact Fund which seeks to raise $1 million. Support for the Amazon Impact Fund will allow us to:
- Expand our on-the-ground team in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru and work more closely with our indigenous partners.
- Launch an Amazon Indigenous Rising Media Team to expand indigenous communications capacity and directly amplify voices and solutions of indigenous peoples.
- Grow our Solar for the Amazon program to support indigenous communities' pursuit of clean energy and communications capacity.
