These Heritage Circle members are some of our most cherished donors and who are also great friends of Native American people. Their heartfelt act of including us in their Will helps to ensure the future of our programs and our mission “to help Native American people improve the quality of their lives by providing opportunities for them to bring about positive changes in their communities.” Learn more about their stories...

  

You can help by joining The Heritage Circle, which enables you to donate using any of our planned giving options! You may choose the Program or Programs of your choice, such as AIRC, CIN, AIEF, SWIRC, NAA, NRF, SNRF, and/or ROAR. Many Heritage Circle members have chosen to include several of our Programs in their Estate Planning.

 

National Relief Charities offers a variety of ways that you can donate to a great cause and help to ensure a brighter future for many Native Americans living in the Northern Plains and Southwest — while achieving your financial goals.

As a member of The Heritage Circle, you will be periodically informed on our efforts to provide services to American Indians living in need in the areas we serve. You will receive a beautiful framed certificate acknowledging your admission into The Heritage Circle.

  

Your framed certificate is a token of our sincere appreciation, in honor of your legacy gift to Indian People. This gift will incorporate a highly stylized medicine wheel. In its design, the wheel is divided into four sections, which signifies the four directions of north, south, east and west.

The colors stand for the four races of man and the circle design symbolizes the circle of life. We included the feathers in the design to embody the strength, pride and independence the eagle has held in many American Indian cultures.
