The Intertribal Education Foundation’s mission is to close the education and economic gaps for Indigenous people and communities to build sustainable economic and educational equity now and for future generations. Their programs focus on a range of areas, including technology, arts and athletics.
Nicole Bremer Nash, Executive Director of the Intertribal Education Foundation, added: “Intertribal Education Foundation is thrilled that BMM Testlabs is supporting our goals of elevating Indigenous students. BMM’s generous support and donation will provide funding that enables us to continue developing educational programs. We believe that the creative expression, open-mindedness, and cultural traditions of our students give them the ability to succeed in today’s world. Programming like our American Indian Cyber Warrior workforce development and BMM Testlabs’ Next Generation Initiative are crucial to securing the futures of our Indigenous youth.”
