mission

Native Ways Federation (NWF) is focused on promoting accountability to Indigenous people, issues, and organizations toward more equitable philanthropy.

NWF uplifts the Native nonprofit community through education, advocacy, outreach, and collaboration and fosters increased participation by American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) in the control of charitable activities. Established in 2006, NWF’s mission is to activate informed giving to non-profits in Indian Country and Alaska through donor education and advocacy from the Native nonprofit perspective.
