How You Can Help AAIA

Become a Member

Become a Donor
Membership is open to any person who wishes to help American Indians. For an annual fee of $35, we will keep you informed of AAIA’s activities and other important news pertaining to American Indians. You will receive our newsletter published two times a year. Members may also receive periodic “call for action” letters regarding state or congressional action that would adversely affect American Indians.

In addition, you are eligible to vote for members of the Board of Directors who serve staggered terms. You may vote in person at the Association’s annual meeting or you may vote by proxy.

Support for the organization comes through direct mail solicitations, legacies, grants and special events. AAIA pledges that members' names will not be sold, traded or exchanged if so designated.

Annual and Auditor reports are on file and available for membership inspection. A small fee may be assessed for copying, as some reports are lengthy.
