RISING COSTS. SLOWING DONATIONS. PLEASE HELP.

With inflation at its highest level in 40 years, everyone is struggling, including nonprofit organizations like ours — and especially vulnerable Native Americans who rely on us. Rising costs are making it harder for us to deliver lifesaving services.

Here’s what you need to know:

We’re facing a significant shortfall in the funds we needed to raise this year.
If we can’t raise enough funds before the year is up, there are services we simply won’t be able to deliver.
From providing healthy food and clean water for families to providing heating assistance for vulnerable Elders, we will not be able to help all who count on us to meet their critical needs.

Will you please help us close the funding gap by rushing a gift today? We cannot continue our urgent work for Native Americans without you.

Northern Plains Reservation Aid™

90,000 Native Americans are homeless or live in unsafe and sub-standard housing, and 23 percent of Native families live with low food security.

The Northern Plains Reservation Aid™ (NPRA) Program provides food, water, health products and emergency relief services for Native American Elders, families and children in need living on reservations in the Northern Plains.

Featured Service

Reservations on the Northern Plains can be bitterly cold and biting winds regularly gust up to 50 mph. Under such conditions, exposed flesh can freeze in less than a minute.

When money for fuel has run out, residents have been known to burn clothing or furniture, or hang blankets at the door and stay in one room, in anxious attempts to stay warm.

Or they may have to make the difficult choice of buying winter fuel or food.
