AIFEP creates pathways for American Indians to reach their goals, on their own terms, through microgrants. We value reciprocity in all of our relationships and we support AIFEP recipients in growing their knowledge, resources, opportunities, and networks to achieve their goals. In kinship, AIFEP recipients share their stories with us and encourage their communities to pursue their dreams. Together, AIFEP is transformative and impactful, creating change sustained for our future generations.
