Native Americans in Philanthropy is a national membership organization dedicated to advancing philanthropic practices grounded in Native values and traditions. To carry out our mission, we address three strategic priorities:

1. Encouraging philanthropic support for Native self-determination and healthy communities,
2. Educating and bridging philanthropy with Native culture and values, and
3. Empowering Native philanthropic leadership.

As a member you will experience first hand the strength of our connections, the caliber of our members and the promise of our work as a network. Your involvement is important to us and to the larger American Indian community. Tremendous opportunities exist for us to advance the vitality and well being of Native organizations and Native communities through the tradition of sharing.

Together, we are changing the face of philanthropy and the health of our community.

By joining or renewing your membership in Native Americans in Philanthropy you will be a part of our important and exciting work of fostering Native American development and self-determination through philanthropy.

"I was honored to be part of the initial group that Louis Delgado brought together to discuss Native people and philanthropy, which led to the founding of Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP).  The early research undertaken by NAP confirmed what we all knew - that pitifully few of the philanthropic dollars granted each year were to Native controlled organizations.  That continues to be the case, and thus we need to continue our efforts to make Native Americans in Philanthropy all it can be as a resource to mainstream philanthropy, tribal philanthropy and the native non-profit sector.  As a founding member of NAP, I strongly encourage you to renew your membership.  NAP is what we collectively make it."
