Where All Your Purchases Help the "Poorest of the Poor"
Projects
For 40 years now, the Southwest Indian Foundation has been providing assistance to the "poorest of the poor" in the desert southwest reservation areas. Our projects are numerous. Where there is a need, SWIF attempts to answer the need. We rely on good people like yourself to help us give hope and opportunity to some of the poorest people in the United States.
