Charity Navigator, a respected charity watchdog organization, is highlighting Native American charities on its blog as part of its strengthened commitment to promoting a more equitable social sector by encouraging both organizations and donors to consider aspects of diversity, equity, and inclusion in their decision-making. The American Indian College Fund was asked to contribute a blog about the impact our work in higher education makes in the lives of the students and their communities, along with the added importance of our work during the pandemic and as we rebuild in the days ahead. Read the blog here and watch the video interview of Levi, a College Fund student ambassador, TCU and college graduate, and practicing registered nurse in a tribal community.
How Does the Department of Education Impact Higher Education?
Many organizations like the American Indian College Fund, in addition to those who challenged the Executive Order in court, reaffirmed their values which are grounded in the belief that we all contribute to the common good through education. Here at the College Fund we believe all Native people who desire an education deserve the opportunity to ensure their participation in a strong, economically thriving, democratic nation.
