PWNA Planned Giving - Partnership With Native Americans

Learn more about our most devoted Heritage Circle Members.

Did you know that it is possible to assist Native Americans without it costing you anything during your lifetime?

You can help by joining The Heritage Circle, which enables you to donate using any of our planned giving options! You may choose the program or programs of your choice, such as AIRC, CIN, AIEF, SWIRC, NAA, NRF, SNRF, and/or ROAR. Many Heritage Circle members have chosen to include several of our programs in their Estate Planning.

PWNA offers a variety of ways that you can donate to a great cause and help to ensure a brighter future for many Native Americans living in the Northern Plains and Southwest — while achieving your financial goals.

Membership BenefitsView All

As a member of The Heritage Circle, you will be periodically informed on our efforts to provide services to American Indians living in need in the areas we serve. You will receive a beautiful framed certificate acknowledging your admission into The Heritage Circle.

Your framed certificate is a token of our sincere appreciation, in honor of your legacy gift to Indian People. This gift will incorporate a highly stylized medicine wheel. In its design, the wheel is divided into four sections, which signifies the four directions of north, south, east and west.

The colors stand for the four races of man and the circle design symbolizes the circle of life. We included the feathers in the design to embody the strength, pride and independence the eagle has held in many American Indian cultures.
