Learning and Impact

The American Indian College Fund is an Indigenous Learning Organization

The College Fund engages in research, evaluation, and learning to understand the outcomes and impacts of our work and to be better relatives to our partners: the Native students, tribal colleges, and Native communities we serve. Having an organizational learning strategy and a data gathering system to support our organizational learning are best practices for data-driven non-profit organizations focused on clearly communicating their impacts.
