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 on May 19, 2024!
Native-led nonprofits are systemically underfunded. According to the Investing in Native Communities project, large foundations have allocated less than half a percent of their total annual grantmaking to Native communities since 2006. Flexible, unrestricted funding is necessary to implement Native-led solutions. Individual donors can help Native-led nonprofits continue their important work. We encourage our community to learn more about Native-led organizations, including the organizations highlighted below, and consider contributing to their important work.
