Partners and Allies

It has taken a collective to get us to be able to help so many people. We ask that you support these businesses and organizations who have been such a help to us:


We have purchased our flatbeds from this great company in Gallup. They are great people who have helped us when we have needed it.


They offer assistance in Colorado and surrounding areas when there is need.


A mutual aid community that connects people in need with patrons who can help with that need. This is a tangible way for people to give to each other, quickly, discretely and directly.


“When Fr. Dunstan Schmidlin started the Southwest Indian Foundation back in 1968, he felt a sense of urgency. With a true Franciscan's love for the land and the harmony for creation, he was deeply troubled by the plight of his Native American brothers and sisters. Where once these noble Americans had lived close to the earth, they now seemed displaced in their own land and disillusioned with their own dreams. In the relentless march of progress, they had somehow been left behind. They were the forgotten Americans. We have always striven to maintain the original intentions of our Franciscan founder. First, to recognize the great human potential of each individual and second, to offer those in need a hand - not a handout.”
