Programs

PWNA provides services in a non-discriminatory, culturally relevant, responsible and transparent manner, based on the self-determined needs and goals of each tribal program partner and community.

We are committed to helping Native Americans address persistent challenges and strengthen their resources for greater impact.

Since 1990, PWNA has worked to help improve the quality of life for Native American Elders, families and children. Through our reservation partnerships and distribution network, we benefit 250,000 Native Americans each year. We serve Native Americans through eight programs. (Scroll down to see more.)
