NAP is pleased to announce a call for nominations for new Board Members.  We are also accepting self-nominations. Nomination forms are available here.

NAP's mission is to advance philanthropic practices grounded in native values and traditions. 

We are guided by three strategic directions: 

·         Engage Native and non-Native practitioners of philanthropy to focus on sustainable Native communities.

·         Educate to instill Native philanthropic values into contemporary practice.

·         Empower Native philanthropic leadership to be effective practitioners. 

We are interested in receiving nominations for candidates with a commitment to Native American communities and who bring expertise in three specific areas:  

·         Current Trustee experience on a national foundation board;

·         Legal expertise; and/or

·         Financial expertise.

Board members are expected to fully participate in working committees and are required to financially contribute to the organization.
 
The deadline for submission is Thursday, March 4, 2010.  

Please note: 1) only current NAP members are eligible to nominate someone for a board position; and 2) if voted onto the board, the nominee must be, or must become, a NAP member prior to joining the board.

Thank you for your support and leadership in philanthropy!
