Since its inception 20 years ago, the American Indian College Fund ("the
Fund") has helped to transform the lives of American Indian students,
their communities, and the landscape of American Indian higher
education. Through scholarships and other support, advocacy, and
building awareness about the unique, community-based accredited tribal
colleges and universities, the American Indian College Fund offers
American Indian students access to knowledge, skills, and cultural
values which enhance their communities and the country as whole. A
movement and shift in generational mindset is taking place across the
country in which higher education is being embraced by the American
Indian people in great numbers. Many of these students seek to attend
the nation's tribal colleges and universities and are remaining in their
communities - helping to elevate these communities out of poverty and
inspire new hope for the future. Fund scholarship fellows are making an
impact at the local, regional, and national levels. Their post-secondary
experience enables them to address the modern day economic, societal,
and environmental issues that impact their communities and us all,
through the unique lens of traditional Indian philosophies and culture.

In order to fuel this movement and meet the rising demand for
post-secondary educational opportunities through the tribal colleges,
the Fund seeks a strategic and accomplished leader for the newly created
position of Vice President for Resource Development. The American Indian
College Fund has set a progressive course of action to strengthen,
expand, and broaden philanthropic support. Reporting to the President,
the new Vice President for Resource Development will bring strategic
expertise to all areas of the organization's development activities
including individual gifts (annual, major, planned giving), corporate,
tribal and foundation funding, and board relations.
