The National Fund

The National Fund for Excellence in American Indian Education (also referred to as "The National Fund") is a Congressionally chartered 501(c)(3) foundation that supports the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) and its 183+ schools. Amid a rapidly shifting federal landscape, the National Fund is advancing a bold, Indigenous-centered vision for Native education—maintaining strategic alignment with BIE leadership, Tribal Nations, and federal and foundation partners while seizing key moments to drive sustainable, community-led impact.
