01What it does

What Indigenous Peoples Power Project Inc does

Mission

Our mission is to provide nonviolent direct action training, campaign support, and community organizing tools to support Indigenous communities taking action in defense of their homelands.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. LANDBACK: The IP3 Landback Project, also known as The Farm at Coyote Crossing is a 4.7 acre farmland property in the heart of Chinook Territory, Portland, Oregon, and represents our collective return to Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Indigenous Land Practices. This space serves as the primary IP3 headquarters, training space, retreat center, and as a community space to Learn, Grow, Heal, and Connect.

    88% of program spending
  2. TRAINING & ACTION FUND: The IP3 Training & Action Fund is a resource for IP3 trainers, staff, and community members to skill up in all aspects of Indigenous Sovereignty and organizing that advances Indigenous communitys ability to exercise our inherent right to environmental justice, cultural livelihood, and self-determination. We provide these resources and trainings at no or low cost to offset the financial barriers that historically keep Indigenous communities from participation in our own unique social justice campaigns.

  4. PLANNING RETREAT: A bi-annual retreat where IP3 network trainers, board members, staff and community gather to collaborate on nonviolent direct action best practices, procedures, and strategies to meet the needs of Indigenous communities taking action in defense of their homelands.

  5. ACTION CAMP: An annual four-day camp style workshop for leaders from tribes across the US and Canada where training, collaboration, and support services are available. Training tracks include Nonviolent Direct Action, Creative Resistance, Blockades, Climbing, and Kayaktivism.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $4k → $352k.

6 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of Indigenous Peoples Power Project Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

Indigenous Peoples Power Project Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

65% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Indigenous Peoples Power Project Inc.

How long its funders stay

38% of Indigenous Peoples Power Project Inc's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 47% give in more than one year at all.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $889k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
