Needs

The Mission is a 501 (c )(3) not-for-profit organization, affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. Of the current annual budget of about $950,000, 80% is supported by individuals, churches, foundations, and businesses throughout the country, and 20% by federal, state, and other sources. The Mission budget is in a period of rapid growth caused by three primary factors that have substantially increased operational costs: a commitment to quality education, expanding services to the community, and the necessity of upgrading/replacing aging Mission facilities.

Why Give to the Mission?

• The Mission School is an alternative school to Bureau of Indian Affairs and community schools throughout the Navajo Nation.
• Parents choose to place their children in a school that reflects Christian values while respecting Navajo culture and tradition.
• Partnership is expressed by Navajo and non-Navajo representation on a Mission Board of Directors.
• As needs change, programs and services change. Current plans include the re-opening of a medical clinic and increased focus on community spiritual needs.
• Social needs are addressed by counseling, educational opportunities, and on-the-job training.

Ways to Give:

Sponsorship Program

We offer educational opportunitites to children grades K-6th and are blessed by many Lutherans and others who work together to provide elementary education along with the opportunity to know Christ! You can sponsor an individual student or an entire class at the Mission School! Option 1: Individual Student Sponsorship - $850.00 for August - May school year. Option 2: Class Sponsorship - $3,000.00 for August - May school year.

Your gift will help us to pay a portion of their school tuition, utilities, food, bus transportation, medical needs, school supplies, field trips and school events. Your gift will also support the hiring of qualified teachers for the school.

How will the student benefit?

Growing up in a world where there is never enough to cover basic necessities, a Navajo child can become lonely, depressed and hungry. Through the sponsoship program, we are working together to boost self-esteem, give hope, and provide good quality education.

What will sponsors receive?

Along with the knowing you are making a huge difference in a child's life, the sponsorship packet included:

• A student or class picture
• Student or class personalized letter
• Grade listing
• Date of Birth
• Clothing size chart
• Occasional letters and gifts
