AMERIND Risk Gives Back to Improve All Lives in Indian Country: More Than just an Insurance Provider
In 2015, AMERIND Risk reinvested in numerous Native organizations that assist Tribes. This year alone we contributed
almost $500,000 for advocacy, community outreach, and scholarships directly for Tribes. We are committed to protecting
our Tribal communities by putting money to work for Tribal sovereignty and self-determination.
We take pride in being more than just an insurance provider and we look forward to continuing the legacy of supporting
“Tribes Protecting Tribes”.
