Native Health Initiative is the 2026 Charity Partner.

Native Health Initiative (NHI) was founded in 2005 and works to address health inequities in Indigenous Communities. We have three focus areas: 1) Movement is Medicine, 2) Building Youth Leaders, and 3) Indigenizing Wellness. At the heart of NHI’s work is the concept of “Loving Service.” Loving Service comes from our founders' desire to tap into the inherent need that we all have as humans to give a bit of ourselves to others. Loving Service is individuals providing the human-to-human element of serving others - through actions, through understanding, and through addressing needs from the lens of cooperation and not dictation. We see it as working and volunteering out of a deep desire to affect positive change using strength-based approaches to addressing systemic inequities.
