A Building: Eight years ago, MCNAA embarked on a Capital Campaign to raise funds to purchase a building. The building will serve as a permanent location for MCNAA administrative offices, programs and activities. During the first few years we were engaged in the creation and development of a plan. Before we had an opportunity to get into the swing of the campaign September 11th happened. Most of the available financial resources that we identified were directed toward that major cause. We continued to work on the campaign but saw the prices of real estate increase. We, therefore, have not raised enough funds to go forward with the purchase of a property. We have since thought about other options to help with this effort. One option is to ask our readers, members and supporters who may be in a healthy financial position, to donate a useable building/real estate for this purpose. Any location within the I-495 belt is acceptable. Certain tax benefits may apply.

Parcel of Land: We will also accept a parcel of land that will be used as financing leverage to build our Center. Any size or location is acceptable. Certain tax benefits may apply.

Motor Home/Trailer: Many unexpected things happen at our pow-wows and outdoor events that require immediate attention whether they be security, first aid, or a resting place. It would be helpful if MCNAA could address these issues immediately by having a central location on-site. This will also allow the MCNAA Committee Members to be easily accessible to other participants and the public and also to have an overnight presence at the weekend events. A motor home or trailer in good, useable condition would help resolve this need. We are, therefore, asking if you or someone you know has a motor home or trailer that could be donated to MCNAA for this need/cause. If so, please contact us at 617-642-1683.

Newer Truck: MCNAA currently is using a 1985 Chevy cube van to transport equipment for our cultural arts events. We have been able to patch and keep it running for the last 14 years however we are worried about its road worthiness for the next couple of years. We would feel safer if we had a newer vehicle of the same approximate size that would require less upkeep and expense. Again if you or anyone you know can help us by donating a good useable vehicle, MCNAA would be most appreciative.

Office Equipment & Supplies: MCNAA has an on-going need for updated computer equipment and laser printers. With this fast evolving technology, we would prefer the equipment to include flat panel monitors, newer CPUs, and current laser printers.

Other Items: New and Mildly Used items for MCNAAs Annual Benefit Auction. We hold this annual fundraiser once a year and actively solicit items year round for the event. We accept Native and non-Native items for the cause. (gift items, gasoline cards, movie tickets, timeshare weeks, electronics, small appliances, small office equipment, bicycle, sports memorabilia, restaurant or store certificates & gift cards, an automobile, artwork, pottery, baskets, jewelry, etc.)
