As one community member once described how it feels to live in poverty, "Just like a building—I’m not going to worry about anything beyond my basic needs—if the foundation is NOT stable, why worry about anything above it?"
With limited funding, tribes are striving to rebuild this foundation to achieve sustainability. However, there are immediate foundational needs which cannot be met.
Native Hope listens to and partners with tribal organizations to identify these needs, collect the resources and distribute them.
But we can't do this without your help. Together, we can provide Native Americans the basic needs they deserve.
March was filled with giving hope and sharing love with the various community members and tribal organizations—partnering to helping those in need. In response to COVID-19, multiple trips to the local reservations continue to take place to ensure the communities are being supported during these uncertain times. We truly appreciate our generous donors who help make these outreach deliveries possible.

The story of the North American indigenous peoples is a story of loss, hardship, violence, betrayal, and misappropriation. It is also a story of community, spirituality, diversity, honor, and resilience.
Native Americans today face some extraordinary challenges. By nearly every measure, social, cultural, economical, and physical, Native American communities and Native American families are uniquely and negatively impacted by patterns of struggle.
Across the country, there are signs of hope transforming the lives of Native Americans. A new wave of Native voices is rising up and claiming back their own stories and the stories of their ancestors.
