Minneapolis American Indian Center Fundraising Campaign

The Minneapolis American Indian Center provides vital support to more than 28,000 people through our employment, social service, health and fitness, youth, elder, language and cultural revitalization programs. Many more people visit the center for events, food, art, and other activities. 

Every donation helps us provide needed services and a safe community space at no cost to the families, youth, and elders who use our programs. These services help us move toward a brighter future.

Services offered by the Minneapolis American Indian Center include: 

• Family-friendly cultural and language revitalization activities and classes. 

• Accessible gym and fitness center space.

• Community fitness classes aimed at getting people of all ages and abilities moving.

• Lunch, fitness, and cultural activities for elders. 

• Culturally focused youth after school and summer programming. 

• Event and meeting spaces available for short-term use.

• Employment and education support services.

• Art studio space and a gallery to uplift emerging Native artists.

• Educational cultural activities that foster intergenerational connections.

• A cafe that increases access to foods largely native to Turtle Island and sourced from Native producers and businesses. 

• Social service programs tailored to women who are pregnant or have recently given birth and are at risk for substance abuse.

• Stability programs for families.

• Advocacy and support for Native women who are survivors of sexual assault and/or domestic violence.

• Safe and fun community cultural events, such as powwows and Family Fun Nights.  

We wouldn’t be able to continue providing these services and community spaces without the support of people like you. Your generosity allows us to continue uplifting the Twin Cities Native community for generations to come.
