Inaugural Red Dress Fundraising Gala
We are honored to invite you to our Inaugural Red Dress Fundraising Gala September 9, 2022!
The mission of the Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center is to empower Native women and families to exercise their cultural values and integrity, and to achieve sustainable lifeways, while advocating for justice and equity.
90% percent of our funding comes through grants to offer programming in our community, but grants that cover the day-to-day operations of our organization are few and far between. Expenses continue to increase, including, but not limited to: staff health insurance in order to better support our staff out on the frontlines, upgrading our aging technology to ensure connection and access to our clients, and maintaining our vehicles to transport our relatives/clients. Grant funding sources limit the ability of non-profits to be competitive in the hiring market by not allowing for competitive benefits and salaries.
We need your continued generous financial support to continue to offer the high level of programming that our community has come to expect from MIWRC!

The Urban Indigenous Legacy Initiative is a collective of 16 Native American nonprofit organizations in the Twin Cities- focused on issues ranging from healthcare to housing, workforce developments to childcare- that have provided our communities with powerful and effective services for more than four decades.
Together, we’re seeking $83.9 million in state funding to construct 12 new, culturally affirming buildings that will allow us to address disparities by expanding services and creating safe, empowering experiences for those we serve.
