NCUIH End of Year Update

This year’s 2019 NCUIH End of Year Giving Campaign will support and expand our work on projects such as:

• Policy and Advocacy
  • Help NCUIH continue to represent UIOs with federal policymakers and improve health outcomes for the urban Indian population. For over 20 years, NCUIH has devoted all of its efforts to advocate for Urban Indian Health Programs’ interests and needs before Congress and Federal agencies. NCUIH works with Congress to promote awareness of AI/AN disparity issues and resources to better serve our AI/AN communities in urban settings. 
• Urban Indian Youth and Suicide Prevention Council
  • The Youth Advisory Council needs your help to: expand the training and opportunities for the Council to be equipped to be the future Urban Indian Health Leaders—and increase the number of forums for our Urban Indian Youth to educate all of us on the optimal way to keep our youth safe and healthy!
• Preventing Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People by Empowering UIOs and IHS
• AI/AN Urban Environmental Health Initiative
• Elder AI/AN Urban Health Improvement Initiative

Donate to become an advocate while sharing the love of the season!

Make a Pledge through the Combined Federal Campaign to NCUIH

A donation to NCUIH will support our work to ensure Native Americans in urban settings have access to resources to be healthy. 

The National Council of Urban Indian Health is a non-partisan organization that advances the needs of Native Americans across the country. The US Census reports that 78% of American Indians and Alaska Natives live in urban areas. Our Native communities across the nation are in a long-term health crisis. Unfortunately, urban Natives can suffer due to isolation from Tribal lands and cultural identity, lack of adequate mental health care, substance misuse, and poverty.  We represent the 41 Urban Indian Organizations funded by IHS that are working to address these challenges every day.
