Strengthening Families. Empowering Communities.

The Native American Fatherhood and Families Association (NAFFA) is the official collaborating partner of NABEDC. Based in Arizona and founded in 2002, NAFFA is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening Native families through culturally rooted, family-focused education and support.

NAFFA believes in the sacred role of family and the importance of men—particularly fathers—as active, positive, and present figures in their homes and communities. Their mission is carried out through powerful, culturally relevant programs delivered by trained facilitators who understand the unique challenges facing Native communities today.

Culturally Grounded Programming

NAFFA’s programs are designed to restore and reinforce the foundational values of Native families while addressing real-life challenges through education and empowerment. These programs:

  • Emphasize the spiritual, emotional, and cultural strength of families
  • Focus on responsible fatherhood and healthy family dynamics
  • Support healing, leadership, and positive role modeling
  • Serve both on-reservation and urban Native communities

NAFFA has positively impacted thousands of individuals and families across the country, inspiring transformation and unity in countless Tribal communities.
