Scholarships for advanced degrees are also offered.

Veterinary ClinicsThrough the efforts of the volunteer veterinarians, veterinary technicians and other assistants, free veterinary care is provided for Native Americans living on reservations ANA serves. ANA is helping to fund a self-sustaining veterinarian clinic on the Zuni reservation.

Get Involved
Making tied fleece blankets for Navajo elementary school children who board at school during the week is a great family project anytime, but especially now as we are staying at home. Last year we had requests for over 100 blankets. Making them now will have us prepared for next school year. Click here for more information.
Food for Kids
On the Navajo Reservation, 99% of children qualify for free school breakfast and lunch—part of a great federal program that ensures kids can concentrate on their studies, but one that doesn’t do much for empty stomachs outside of school.

During COVID-19, the number of children served has climbed to 1,300! The need for your help is great!
