Southwest Indian Foundation SWIF is a non-profit, charitable organization that relies solely on private donations. They receive no federal dollars. Their primary sources of funding are not huge corporate gifts or impersonal grants. Instead, they are individuals like you. Americans helping Americans.
SWIF assistance is strictly limited to Native Americans - with priority given to the elderly, handicapped, and families with dependent children. Along with the Navajo people, we also serve the Zuni, Hopi, and other Pueblo tribes of the area.
Their services include: Substantial school grants and individual tuition assistance, homes for battered women and children, home repair and wood stove installation, Christmas food baskets for needy families, alcohol counseling, and emergency assistance in the areas of food, clothing, heating fuel, and temporary shelter.
In addition, a few years ago they launched an Indian Craft Catalog to provide a national outlet for Native Americans to sell their precious handmade goods. Visit the on-line version of this catalog. The profits from this catalog go directly back to the Native Americans themselves in the form of their many philanthropic programs.
