Celebrating Native Nonprofit Day!
This Thursday, May 21, Nimiipuu Fund joins Native-led organizations across the country in recognizing Native Nonprofit Day and honoring the essential work Indigenous nonprofits do to strengthen Tribal communities, regional economies, and long-term self-determination.

Nimiipuu Fund advances the prosperity of Nez Perce Tribal and local communities by expanding access to capital, housing, and entrepreneurship. Through tailored financial products and services, the organization supports economic development and helps create pathways for self-determination across the Nez Perce communities and the surrounding region.

Native nonprofits play a vital role in building opportunity through community-driven leadership—supporting entrepreneurship, housing stability, workforce development, and financial empowerment. Rooted in Tribal values and guided by local priorities, these organizations help expand access to resources that foster resilience and long-term prosperity.

Do you remember the last days of your senior year in high school? The excitement, the memories, and savoring those final moments with classmates before everyone heads in different directions?

Well, our local senior class certainly made the most of it this morning! From tent camping on the high school lawn to putting a “For Sale” sign on the school doors, the Class of 2026 brought some memorable senior spirit and a little bit of chaos — all in good fun. 😊

In between the laughs and traditions, we had the opportunity to participate in an “18 in Idaho” presentation with high school seniors, joined by the up-and-coming junior and sophomore classes (and even a few furry friends 🐾). Together, we talked about the legal, financial, and personal responsibilities that come with becoming an adult — from financial education and credit to understanding important life decisions and responsibilities.

We sure enjoyed spending the morning with students, sharing resources, and embracing a little senior-year fun along the way. Congratulations to the seniors as they prepare for the next chapter — enjoy these moments and make those memories count! Thank you Nez Perce Tribe Office of Legal Counsel and Lapwai District Schools for the partnership!
