Nia Tero Indigenous Guardianship Impact Fund

Advised by Marc Ballandras

This pioneering initiative by the Nia Tero Foundation invests in Indigenous-led social enterprises and projects designed to empower communities and safeguard ancestral lands. Spearheaded by our expert impact investing partners at Ethic and supported by Endaoment, the Fund drives transformative change by channeling capital into ventures that honor Indigenous wisdom and promote sustainable, community-focused development.

This fund will focus on catalyzing community resilience and environmental stewardship by creating measurable social impact alongside financial returns. By supporting projects that elevate Indigenous guardianship and protect cultural heritage, it embodies a bold vision for a future where traditional knowledge and modern innovation work hand in hand to nurture both people and the planet.
