From the ED

It’s been several months since our last newsletter, but the reason for the silence is a good one - we’ve been busy helping people!  I hope you have a little time to spend reading about what we’ve been up to.  If you do, I think you’ll see that we are assembling impactful programs that complement one another and are winning the trust and attention of large, stable funders. 
 
We’ve thanked all the program funders in the articles you’ll read, but it’s here that I want pay tribute to all the individuals who have supported Red Feather over the years.  None of this work would be possible without individuals who care enough to make a contribution.   Each donor is part of a sustaining network of support that keeps us going - from the one-time donor who is momentarily moved enough to give, to the most loyal of monthly donors; like one East Coast woman who has hand-written a check to Red Feather every month for over 12 years, or a widower who, for the past few years, has maintained the monthly giving that he and his wife began in 2004. We are honored by the dedication of these and a handful of other individuals, couples and families, located all across the country, who have been contributing from $20 to $100 a month for over a decade.  They inspire us, and we hope they will inspire you.
 
Generosity can be a hallmark of one’s character, or it can be a passing feeling that takes hold from time to time.   Whichever the case may be, we hope when you’re feeling it, that you’ll remember Red Feather and the Hopi and Navajo families we are helping.   Thank you for your support and, as always, please share this newsletter with anyone who might be able to help. 
 
Sincerely grateful,


Mark Hall
