Northwest Indian College Foundation
The Foundation supports the mission of the College through fundraising efforts that help support the College’s highest priorities and aspirations, from student scholarships and faculty development to new construction and community outreach.
The Foundation also supports the College by identifying and cultivating volunteer leadership within the Native community and outside of it, creating new partnerships at the local, regional, and national level. Through its events, publications, and outreach activities, the Foundation helps create a network of friends and advocates that ensures the vitality of the College and furthers its goals.
