Dear Friend,

I wanted you to be among the first to know that we’ve changed our name from American Indian Relief Council to Northern Plains Reservation Aid™ (NPRA). We made this strategic change to more clearly reflect our mission and services focused on urgently needed resources to Native American communities in the Northern Plains.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to raise the funds we anticipated by now to help pay for the fuel and rising food demand needed to help Native American families in need, and to provide our Program Partners with the support they are desperately counting on. In order to help us meet our partners' requests, we must raise $100,000 by October 31^st.

Give now to TRIPLE the value of your donation!

We have appealed on an emergency basis to the Board of Directors for our organization, Partnership With Native Americans^® (PWNA), and the good news is... the Board has agreed to match $2 to $1 from unrestricted funds as a Matching Gift Challenge to help make up the difference.

There is no better way to stretch your donation than to take advantage of a matching gift challenge, because the challenge TRIPLES your gift, when received by October 31^st. Since this is such an incredible opportunity, please don’t delay, donate today.

Without your helping hand, I don't know how we would be able to meet the needs of these people — especially the Elders and children.

P.S. Making a monthly gift is the best way to give. It is an easy way for you to make a significant contribution, and helps NPRA provide vital services throughout the year.

^{* Because the need is so urgent, the Board of Directors for Partnership With Native Americans has offered to match $2 for $1* every donation received between now and October 31 from unrestricted funds. Your gift will signal the Board members that you believe funds should be allocated to NPRA’s Food, Health, and Emergency Services. Therefore, every dollar donated to this appeal, up to $100,000 will be matched from undesignated funds and is valid through 10/31/16.}
