Join a fundraiser

Our volunteers and friends often host online and local fundraisers to support Hope for the First Nations and our individual trips to the reservation. Follow us on Facebook, join our mailing list or bookmark this page to find out when a bake sale or fundraising dinner comes near you.

Here are our latest fundraisers:

Host a fundraiser

You may not have funds to give, but you can help us raise them!

Facebook lets you use your birthday to fundraise for your favorite nonprofits. HFtFN board member Beth Yokley recently raised $640 with a Facebook fundraiser for her birthday.

And websites like PledgeIt let you raise money with every touchdown, game won or mile run. HFtFN President Emily Miller ran a series of 5Ks in 2019 to raise $960 for HFtFN.

Get creative! We’d love if you would consider hosting any kind of fundraiser — online or in person — for HFtFN. Let us know, and we’ll promote it for you!

Volunteer with us

We currently are looking for new church or school partners we can train to lead week-long summer Hope Camps or spring Restoration Week trips in new communities on the reservation as our ministry continues to grow.

We also could use some web help. Obviously, something is broken on our homepage!

Please contact us to volunteer or learn more about what our partnerships look like.
