Putting lessons into practice

We learn how to be a respectful philanthropic partner by listening, building relationships, and making grants to leaders across Washington. These tools guide our work. We share them to strengthen our collective efforts toward equity and racial justice.

Living language guide

The Living Language Guide serves as a resource for Inatai Foundation team and board members to establish a shared understanding of the language we use for our work together. It is also a resource for partners to gain a deeper understanding of our values and worldview.
