This Giving Tuesday, let’s come together to support Indigenous land rights and environmental justice. Your donation to the Land Justice Fund will directly impact Indigenous communities, helping them reclaim their ancestral lands and restore ecosystems.

PDF has long been a partner with and an advocate for Indigenous Peoples. PDF believes that land governance in the United States must change to recognize and uphold Indigenous rights and responsibilities, and to restore our ecosystems. 

Paul Haible, PDF’s Executive Director from 2004-2024, has had a long history of partnering with Indigenous organizing groups including advocating for the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples that was established in 2002.  Recently, he worked with a donor advised fund donor to fund land justice projects from the proceeds of the sale of their family farm in Illinois.  This experience added to PDF’s expertise in resourcing land back projects and Native land restoration. 

To celebrate and recognize Paul on his retirement, we have established the Land Justice Fund. 

What Your Donation Will Do:

• Empower Indigenous communities: Support Indigenous-led initiatives that reclaim ancestral lands and protect sacred sites.
• Restore ecosystems: Contribute to projects that revitalize natural habitats and promote biodiversity.
• Build a sustainable future: Invest in a legacy of land justice for generations to come.

Every dollar you give on or before December 3rd will will help us reach our goal of $1 million to endow the Land Justice Fund.

Let’s create a future where Indigenous peoples have the power to heal the land and heal themselves.
