Partners must align with Native Hope's Mission, Vision and Value Statement.

If you are interested in forming a partnership, please contact us at questions@nativehope.org to receive more details on how to become a Native Hope partner.

7. How does Native Hope offer support to the surrounding tribal communities?
We stay involved with the local tribal communities in numerous ways: health fairs, 5 and 10k runs, basketball tournaments, culture crafts, computer coding camp, back to school supplies, and much more. Our largest project involves a partnership with the Crow Creek Tribal Housing Authority and the BIA Social Services of Crow Creek. Native Hope led a campaign to raise funds to remediate meth houses. Currently we are raising money to help the Boys and Girls Club of Lower Brule purchase a van.
