Reflecting on the past year, the Tiwahe Foundation has been honored to have a strong, continued commitment to our mission, values and dreams. Through ongoing community engagement, we took the time to review our accomplishments, challenges and successes and to think about our future.

We continue to be uplifted by and thankful for the partnerships we have developed with the American Indian Family Empowerment Fund grantees, alumni grantee leaders, donors and foundation partners.
