Ways to Give

Investment in Native communities is imperative

Why Give?

Less than 1/2 of the top 1,000 foundations give to Native communities and causes. Moreover, annual foundation giving to Native American organizations and causes is extremely volatile, experiencing annual spikes and declines. Your gift offsets these long-term deficits, restores justice, and helps Native-led organizations and communities preserve culture, build thriving economies, and work toward a future of their own creation.

Personal and Focused Outreach

This donor map shows where First Nations Director of Individual Giving Jona Charette (Northern Cheyenne and Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa) and Development Officer Anaya Echo-Hawk (Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation/Pawnee, Paiute, and Pit River) are visiting communities to build real relationships with the people who believe in First Nations’ work. 

Outreach highlighted in navy blue indicate where Jona is building longterm relationships, the kind rooted in trust, accountability, and shared commitment to Nativeled change. Outreach highlighted in orange reflect where Anaya is spending her time listening, learning, and connecting. She shares stories and priorities of Native communities in a way that feels personal and reciprocal.   

This map shows where Jona and Anaya will be actively showing up, such as community events, over coffee, and on drives between small towns, to make sure supporters feel connected to the work they are investing in. 

 The graphic is a visual reminder that donor relationships at First Nations are personal, placebased, and shaped by the lived experiences and tribal identities of the people doing the work.
