Native Non Profit Day
Native Nonprofit Day is a giving initiative aimed at increasing support for Native-led organizations nationwide. Organizations, foundations, and individuals are invited to dedicate May to raising awareness of the importance of supporting Native-led nonprofits, culminating in Native Nonprofit Day!
NWF recognizes that Native-led organizations have the solutions to the issues that Native communities are facing. Native-led nonprofits know Native communities and their strengths and how best to help Native people. The systemic funding inequities Native-led organizations face make it more difficult to implement Native-led solutions. Investing in Native-led nonprofits enhances positive change in Native communities. Native Nonprofit Day is an innovative opportunity for donors and foundations to learn about our amazing Native-led nonprofits and contribute to our groundbreaking work.
This campaign encourages donors to give to nonprofits directly through Native-led organizations’ donate pages or through their own fundraisers. We are not accepting donations meant for other Native-led nonprofits.
We are inviting all Native-led nonprofits, foundations, individuals, and other allies to join us and we encourage all Native-led nonprofits to use #NativeNonprofitDay, #GiveNative, and #SupportNativeLed in their fundraising efforts leading up to and on Native Nonprofit Day.
And remember, you can join us in this endeavor by creating content to post, tag, and share—and share other organization’s content—so that all Native-led organizations may benefit!
