Paaqavi Incorporated

Paaqavi Incorporated is supported entirely through donations, grants and other fund-raising activities. This funding gives us the opportunity to work directly with our local communities in projects that further our stated “mission” goals. As we work to re-define Paaqavi INC., your contribution will be used towards building our internal capacity in Board Development and Strategic Planning, and will allow us to continue to serve as a Fiscal Sponsor for local community projects. 

In addition, there are projects and training opportunities waiting to happen. This includes areas in Historic Preservation (Traditional Architecture), Hopi Archaeology workshops, Land Restoration, and Cultural Tourism (land/river guiding). We also seek to further the mentoring and development of professionals and traditional knowledge holders to support these endeavors into the future.

As a part of our campaign, we are fortunate to kick it off with a $10,000 Matching Donation from one of our generous supporters! So that means your contribution today, tomorrow and into the future will be doubled until we hit our match! We are also working to develop some of our own initiatives, among them is the creation of a Hopi Archaeology and Outdoor Guiding training program.

Currently we are seeking to raise at least $6,000 to facilitate the first training of its kind in 2026. In partnership with other organizations, we hope to provide opportunities for our own people to experience their ancestral landscapes across the Southwest. We are also working to develop training and employment within Archaeology, Land Stewardship, Tourism and Outdoor Recreation. A donation of $500 helps us to sponsor one individual in these endeavors!

As financial assistance from federal and tribal governments continues to be less reliable, it is imperative that local communities begin to develop and strengthen their self-sufficiency. As a community-based organization, Paaqavi Incorporated is committed to supporting initiatives that prioritize our local people. Your monetary donation will help build our capacity to offer more training and technical assistance to our Hopi communities. 

Usqwali! Kwah-kway! Thank You!
