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.
