NATIVE NON-PROFIT DAY 2026

Native Non-profit Day is a giving initiative aimed at increasing support for Native-led organizations. Foundations, corporations and individual allies are invited to dedicate May to raising awareness of the importance of supporting Native-led nonprofits like ours, culminating in making a donation to the Mass. Center for Native American Awareness (MCNAA) on Thursday, May 21, 2026, Native Non-profit Day and beyond!

Native populations often get lost in the larger BIPOC narrative. Did you know that only 0.3-0.4% of philanthropic funding by large foundations goes to Native-led Nonprofits?

Native-led organizations recognize and have the solutions to the issues that their communities are facing. Native-led nonprofits know their communities, their strengths and how best to help Native people. The systemic funding inequities Native-led organizations face make it more difficult to implement Native-led solutions. Investing in Native-led nonprofits enhances positive change in our communities. Native Non-profit Day is an innovative opportunity for individual donors, corporations and foundations to learn about our amazing non-profit and contribute to our important work.

Help us raise $25,000 over the next several months, to support our programs that will assist our People with:

  • College Scholarships

  • Food Insecurity

  • Heat Assistance

  • Rental Assistance

  • Youth Education & Empowerment

  • and More.

On Native Non-profit Day and the coming months, please donate and help make an impact on the number of families and Elders we help! Thank You!
