If you are a partner agency, let’s connect and think how we can work together to expand services and awareness for Indigenous Peoples. The greatest challenges bring untold opportunities. Let's catalyze collective will and strength. We are Stronger than Strong Together.

Current uncertainties bring a looming shadow of distress about how our Indigenous communities and families will be impacted. The work we do at the Center is led with heart and grit and we will not relent.

Our team is now 350 employees strong, 80% of whom are Indigenous and working on the frontlines of their own communities. Our shared experience during COVID showed us how to be innovative, agile, and creative to protect and promote health for the communities we serve.

All we can do is everything we can do. Once again, we will persevere by locking arms with our allies and partners. Private philanthropy will be urgent to fill gaps in expected cuts in federal funds. Old and new partnerships will increase our momentum and collective strength. Together we will stand to fight for the health, dignity, and rights of Indigenous Peoples.

What can you do today? If you are a donor – either an individual or a person working to amplify the impact of private philanthropy, we ask you to please renew and, if possible, expand your support. If you are a partner agency, let’s connect and think how we can work together to expand services and awareness for Indigenous Peoples. The greatest challenges bring untold opportunities. Let's catalyze collective will and strength. We are Stronger than Strong Together.
