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.

The Northwest Indian College Foundation exists exclusively for charitable and educational purposes and is designated as a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization. Gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible. The Foundation’s Endowment Fund generates revenue toward the College’s operating expenses, equipment purchases, scholarships and special projects that benefit faculty, staff and students.
