Our partners’ priorities shape our grantmaking
Panta Rhea supports power-building and self-determination efforts that strengthen local leadership collective action.
The three strategies below weave together our partners’ current priorities across the Caribbean and Americas. As we grow, learn, and change together, so will our priorities:
Climate justice, food sovereignty, and human rights: Bringing humans into right relationship with our climate, land and seas, with the foods we cultivate and eat, and the dignified life conditions we all deserve.
Storytelling, language, and creative practice: Honoring and celebrating the histories, perspectives, voices, and creative expression of grassroots communities to shape our collective consciousness and futures.
Healing, care, sustainability, and well-being: Holistically supporting movements, people, and organizations so they can address the personal and human toll of the work they do.
