OUR MISSION
Pow Wow Market is a unique, grassroots initiative created by Pow Wow Pitch, dedicated to uplifting and empowering Indigenous entrepreneurs. Our mission is to support collective impact and success within the Indigenous entrepreneurial community. We provide a safe, collaborative, and nurturing environment that intertwines entrepreneurship with cultural values, focusing on inspiration, education, mentorship, celebration, and reconciliation.
The Pow Wow Market Experience
At the heart of our initiative is the Pow Wow Market. This platform showcases an array of diverse brands, all proud alumni of the Pow Wow Pitch program. These businesses are not just participants but key contributors to our community's growth and sustainability. Each brand in the Pow Wow Market pledges to donate a percentage of every sale to the Pow Wow Pitch Alumni Fund.
THE POW WOW PITCH ALUMNI FUND
This fund plays a crucial role in our ecosystem. Managed by the participating brands, it is allocated annually to support emerging Indigenous-owned businesses and various youth initiatives. This strategic reinvestment ensures that the benefits of each purchase extend beyond individual businesses, fostering a cycle of continuous support and development within the Indigenous entrepreneurial community.
Beyond a Marketplace
Pow Wow Market is more than a marketplace; it's a platform for nurturing future generations of Indigenous entrepreneurs and strengthening community bonds. It represents a hub for communal support and empowerment, where commerce intertwines with community development. Our aim is to create a self-sustaining cycle of growth and empowerment, showcasing entrepreneurship as a powerful tool for community development and cultural preservation.
