NAN held an in-person workshop designed to support small, Native-led nonprofits and help them thrive! Native Nonprofits 101 gave you information and tools to help you run your nonprofit. Whether you're in a leadership role, serving as staff or volunteer, or new to nonprofits all together, this series provided you with practical, hands-on learning. We shared tips and tools for small to midsize organizations, whether staffed or all-volunteer. We celebrated and welcomed participants of all genders.

Native Nonprofit “Building Community Together” Conference - A Huge Success

Native Action Network convened a successful nonprofit conference on October 7-9 in Spokane, Washington! This was the first Native nonprofit conference in our state, creating many opportunities to meet and network with emerging nonprofit leaders. Participants representing many regions and Tribes across the state highlighted issues and opportunities at the center of Native nonprofit leadership. We were honored to host Erik Stegman, CEO of Native Americans in Philanthropy. The Conference was held at Northern Quest Casino and Resort, which is owned by the Kalispel Tribe of Indians. While there, we appreciated being hosted for an evening get together by the Camas Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Kalispel Tribe’s language, culture, and heritage.

The Conference was an important part of NAN’s Native Nonprofit Learning Network, funded by the Washington State Office of the Secretary of State.
