How to Help

Wills and Bequests | Company Matching Gift Program | Credit Card Donations | Donation of Supplies

The American Indian Education Foundation (AIEF) depends on the generosity of private donors to fund our programs that benefit Native Americans throughout the Northern Plains and Southwestern states. AIEF receives no funding from the US Government or grants. Your donations allow AIEF to provide vital support for thousands of Native American children, and families through our Program Services done in partnership with hundreds of Program Partners living in Reservations communities (for more information on AIEF programming, please see the Programs link on this site). Thanks to the kindness of people just like you, AIEF’s programs touches the lives of thousands Native Americans every year.

Wills and Bequests:
Many of our donors are concerned with preserving the future for Native American people by including AIEF in their estate planning. If you are interested in including AIEF in your Will please contact our Planned Giving Department at (877) 853-6474 and they will be able to provide you with any information you may need.

Company Matching Gift Program:
Many companies have matching gift programs set up to encourage their employees to donate to charities. If your company has a matching gift program you can double or even triple your donation to AIEF. Our Donor Relations Department will be happy to assist you with your company’s Matching Gift program (800) 881-8694.
