PWNA
Partnership With Native Americans is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to championing hope for a brighter future for Native Americans living on remote, isolated and impoverished reservations. Collaborating for more than 25 years with our reservation partners, we provide consistent aid and services for Native Americans with the highest need in the U.S. The majority of PWNA's support is designed to help meet the basic human needs of those most vulnerable: Native American Elders and youth. PWNA works with hundreds of reservation program partners in hundreds of tribal communities across the Southwest and Northern Plains. Year-round, we deliver about 5 million pounds of new and high-quality goods to the reservations for immediate relief from impoverishment. In addition, PWNA provides educational assistance, supports the work in process by reservation communities and helps build more capacity. This approach respects local goals and priorities and supports more self-sufficient American Indian communities.
