Donate to The Nebraska Minority Resource Center
NMRC is seeking to raise funds for Native Americans to provide relief from the poverty and disease issues that they are experiencing.
We are seeking funding for our Native American Relief Program, as well as our Diabetes & Obesity prevention and our Alcohol & Drug prevention program. Help us combat these issues that continue to plague our Native American communities.
Your gift is needed now more than ever as Native Americans continue to face appalling levels of inequality and systemic injustice. One in four Native Americans are living in poverty and the high school graduation rate is 67 percent, the lowest of any racial demographic group. The second leading cause of death for Native Americans between the ages of 15-24 is suicide. One in three Native women will be raped in her lifetime; most of the offenders are non-Native. Most federal programs for Tribal nations are underfunded, which has led to inadequate housing, healthcare, education, and law enforcement. Native Americans have a much lower life expectancy and higher uninsured rates than the population at large, and even those who have health insurance often have difficulty accessing the care they need.
Give now and Make a Difference in the Life of an American Indian Family!
