American Indian College Fund Committed to Integrity

November 19, 2014

The holiday season is a time for giving, and the American Indian College Fund (the College Fund) knows that you have many choices with regard to your charity donations. The College Fund adheres to the highest standards of integrity and transparency with regard to its fundraising activities and service of Native American people and communities.

The inspirational stories of our students and alumni that we share in our communications materials are all the real experiences of our scholars who we have served as part of our mission to provide access to higher education to Native Americans. These students and alumni have agreed to share their personal messages to help create greater awareness about the College Fund and to inspire other Native Americans.

We are also proud to share that the College Fund consistently earns high ratings from the nation’s charity watchdog organizations, including the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance, Independent Charities of America, GuideStar, and Charity Navigator.

It is no different for Native peoples, many of whom wait to tell certain stories on long, cold winter nights.
