Today is about showing up for Native-led nonprofits in a real way by donating, sharing, and helping fuel the work they’re already doing in communities across the country.

That same energy carries through the day and builds into Power Hour later. So don’t just sit back: post it, share it, tag it, comment on it, get loud about it, and help flood every feed with support for Native-led nonprofits everywhere!

But, more importantly, head over to the Native Nonprofit List, donate to a Native-led organization today, and share their Native Nonprofit Day content to help build momentum.
