Fire Safety
AMERIND (in collaboration with the Native American Fire Prevention Task Force) provided numerous fire prevention kits to member housing authorities. The kits were sent to educate and promote the use of fire safety materials.

Poster Contest
In conjunction with member housing authorities and regional housing association, AMERIND conducts an annual fire and home safety poster contest. Posters are judged at a national level where the first place winners from three categories are selected. The three winners are offered a trip to the upcoming AMERIND Annual Meeting. The poster contest is held to educate and instill fire safety message among school-aged children in Indian Country.
2003 Annual Contribution: $8,000
Girls Night Out With The Lady Lobos
AMERIND is committed to encouraging education and healthy lifestyles among the Native American communities in New Mexico. Each year AMERIND purchases a number of Lady Lobos home game basketball tickets for distribution. At each home game, a group of girls will travel to UNM's the Pit to watch the Lady Lobos play. AMERIND's outreach for this particular program is statewide; therefore, not one reservation school team will see two games in one season.
