Guided by the collective wisdom of our Board leadership, WCF strengthens cultural, economic, and community resilience across the Dawnland by sharing resources, supporting self-determined priorities, and creating new pathways to prosperity rooted in our values, lands, and traditions.

We are not simply a grantmaking institution, we are a vessel for transformation. WCF serves as a trusted bridge between donors and Wabanaki-led solutions, ensuring that philanthropic resources reach the people and places where they will make the greatest difference. Our work is grounded in relationship, responsibility, and a shared commitment to restoring balance and opportunity in our homelands.

Launched in partnership with Wabanaki leaders and supported by early investments from generous allies, WCF is helping to correct centuries of underinvestment by fueling the ideas, energy, and determination that have always existed in our communities. Whether supporting language preservation, food sovereignty, economic sovereignty, or cultural renewal, we are building a future where every Wabanaki child inherits both opportunity and belonging.

WCF is a home for those who believe that Indigenous prosperity is essential to the well being of this region. Through convening, funding, and visionary leadership, we are charting a bold course forward, one shaped by our ancestors and made possible by the choices we make together today.
