1. What is the purpose of Native Hope?
Native Hope is a nonprofit organization dedicated to dismantling barriers for Native people and to bringing hope and healing through the power of storytelling.

3. How can my organization become one of Native Hope's partners?
Partners must align with Native Hope's Mission, Vision and Value Statement. We recognize there are many programs in existence already doing significant work, but their impact is limited due to a lack of resources. We are open to working with new partners that are making a difference in the lives of Native Americans. 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.
4. Is my tax donation deductible?
Native Hope is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation as defined by the IRS. Our status is granted as part of a group exemption for members of the US Catholic Conference. Simply, this means all gifts to Native Hope are tax-deductible.
Federal Tax ID is #47-3851180.
Our 100% model means that 100% of your donation goes directly to fund our valuable programs. This model is possible because of the generous support of a founding partner who has committed to underwrite the administrative expenses of the organization – everything from salaries to computers to office supplies. This partner has strategically chosen to direct their funds in this way because they recognize the power of the 100% model – to give people the confidence that their donation will have a direct benefit on the lives of Native American youth. For any additional questions or for a copy of our annual report, please email questions@nativehope.org.
