Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

TO HELP AMERICAN INDIAN PEOPLE MEET THEIR IMMEDIATE SURVIVAL NEEDS OF FOOD, WATER, AND SHELTER WHILE IMPLEMENTING AND SUPPORTING PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND SELF-ESTEEM, ESPECIALLY FOR NATIVE YOUTH.

Activities or mission (Part I)

WE GIVE AMERICAN INDIAN YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES THE TOOLS AND HOPE TO BUILD A BETTER LIFE.

  • FOOD, GARDEN, WATER AND BASIC NEED:ALL CHILDREN NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD TO GROW AND THRIVE. IMPOVERISHED ECONOMIC REALITIES OF RURAL AND RESERVATION LIFE CHALLENGE MANY AMERICAN INDIAN COMMUNITIES TO MEET THEIR CHILDREN'S BASIC NEEDS. RUNNING STRONG IS DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING NATIVE COMMUNITY LEADERS AND FAMILY'S EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT THEIR CHILDREN HAVE A HEALTHY START. RUNNING STRONG CONTINUED INCREASING OUR SUPPORT FOR CRITICAL NEEDS WITH FOOD AND WATER CONNECTIONS, AS WELL AS WITH THOUSANDS OF BRAND NEW INKIND ITEMS TO COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.(SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION)FOOD REMAINS A RUNNING STRONG PRIORITY AS WE WORK HARD TO FEED CHILDREN WHO MAY OTHERWISE GO HUNGRY. RUNNING STRONG DONATED 5,544 DRY AND FROZEN FOOD BOXES TO FEED FAMILIES ON THE PINE RIDGE AND CHEYENNE RIVER SIOUX INDIAN RESERVATIONS, ALONG WITH 12,584 LBS. OF FROZEN HAMS FOR CHRISTMAS. EACH FOOD BOX WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY 20 LBS. AND HAD ENOUGH NUTRITIOUS FOOD TO FEED A FAMILY OF FOUR OR A WEEK. AFTER TEACHERS TOLD US STUDENTS RETURNED TO SCHOOL AFTER WEEKENDS AND SCHOOL BREAKS LISTLESS AND HUNGRY, WE STARTED OUR WEEKEND/SCHOOL BREAK BACKPACK FOOD PROGRAM. ON THE MENOMINEE INDIAN RESERVATION WE DONATE BAGS FILLED WITH FOOD TO KESHENA PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN OVER WEEKENDS AND SCHOOL BREAKS WHEN THEY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO FREE SCHOOL LUNCHES AND BREAKFASTS (420 STUDENTS PER WEEK, 13,500 SACKS OF FOOD DISTRIBUTED). WE ALSO SUPPORT A BACKPACK FOOD PROGRAM ON THE STANDING ROCK RESERVATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA, SERVING HEALTHY "SMART SACKS" FOR THE ENTIRE WAKPALA SCHOOL (180 CHILDREN PER WEEK, 6,480 SACKS OF FOOD). KIDS WERE NOT ONLY KEPT FROM BEING HUNGRY, THEY BECAME INVOLVED IN BUILDING THE FOOD BAGS AS A WAY TO EARN VOLUNTEER HOURS.AFTER THE SCHOOL YEAR ENDS, RUNNING STRONG SERVED A HEALTHY SACK LUNCH TO CHEYENNE RIVER KIDS IN THREE COMMUNITIES SO THAT THESE KIDS HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT DURING THEIR SUMMER VACATION WHEN THEY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A FREE SCHOOL LUNCH AND BREAKFAST. THIS SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM SERVED 19,600 MEALS TO CHILDREN AT 3 SITES OVER 11 WEEKS, SERVING LUNCH AND A TAKE HOME MEAL SAFELY TO AN AVERAGE OF 178 KIDS PER DAY.RUNNING STRONG ALSO SUPPORTS ORGANIC GARDENING EFFORTS AS COMMUNITIES WORKED TO GROW THEIR OWN FOOD. IN FY23, WE CONTINUED TO INVEST IN THE OYATE TECA (YOUTH NATION'S) MEDICINE ROOT GARDENING PROGRAM, WHICH IS ALSO THE SITE OF ONE OF OUR FIELD OFFICES ON THE PINE RIDGE INDIAN RESERVATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA. RUNNING STRONG CONTINUES TO PROVIDE FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT FOR OYATE TECA'S NINE-MONTH GARDEN EDUCATION CLASSES WHICH HOW TO GROW, HARVEST, PREPARE AND EAT FRESH PRODUCE ON PINE RIDGE. A BIG PART OF THE CLASS IS HANDS-ON INSTRUCTION AND THE TOOLS TO PLAN & PLANT YOUR OWN GARDEN, AND PROVIDING THE TOOLS, SEEDLINGS AND FENCING TO PLANT 120 STUDENT GARDENS ALONG WITH THE EXTENSIVE DEMONSTRATION GARDEN AND GREENHOUSES LOCATED BY THE OYATE TECA COMMUNITY CENTER. IN 2023, OYATE TECA'S GARDENERS GREW 41,752.51 LBS. OF FRESH PRODUCE (NOT INCLUDING THE WINTER SQUASH AND FALL PUMPKINS) WHICH WAS SOLD AT LOCAL FARMERS MARKETS, AS WELL AS GIFTED AND COMPOSTED. GARDEN STUDENTS ALSO SELL THEIR PRODUCE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET, AND SALES OF THEIR OWN GROWN PRODUCE PROVIDED NEEDED INCOME AND INCREASED THE QUALITY OF FOOD OFFERINGS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. THE MEDICINE ROOT GARDEN ALSO CONTINUED TO OPERATE ITS MOBILE MARKET PROGRAM. GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE PINE RIDGE INDIAN RESERVATION, GETTING TO WHERE HIGH-QUALITY FRESH PRODUCE IS AVAILABLE CAN BE VERY CHALLENGING, WITH THE CLOSEST GROCERY STORY NEARLY 80 MILES AWAY, OFF THE RESERVATION. THE MOBILE MARKET, EQUIPPED WITH A GENERATOR, REFRIGERATION, SHELVING, AND AIR CONDITIONING, TRAVELS OUT TO HARDER TO REACH LOCATIONS ON THE RESERVATIONS THREE DAYS A WEEK, STOPPING AT THREE LOCATIONS ON THE RESERVATION AND TRAVELING NEARLY 100 MILES TO REACH RESIDENTS. THE MOBILE MARKET OFFERS THE GARDEN PRODUCE FROM THE SUMMER HARVEST AND THE SURPLUS OF PRODUCE FROM THE COMMUNITY GARDENERS WHO GO THROUGH THE GARDEN CLASSES.WE ALSO CONTINUED OUR LONG-TERM SUPPORT OF SLIM BUTTES AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, TILLING 10 COMMUNITY GARDENS AND DISTRIBUTING 2,000 SEEDLINGS, 80 BAGS OF SOIL, 10 PLANTER BOXES, 75 SEED PACKAGES, 10 GROW BAGS, AND 9 RAISED BEDS TO 50 FAMILIES ON THE PINE RIDGE INDIAN RESERVATION. RUNNING STRONG GRANTS ALSO SUPPORTED THE YUCHI LANGUAGE PROJECT'S TRADITIONAL FOODS GARDEN IN SAPULPA, OK, THE BRAVE HEART SOCIETY'S GARDENS AND MEDICINAL PLANTS AT YANKTON IN LAKE ANDES, SD, FOUR DIRECTIONS DEVELOPMENT'S FARMING INITIATIVE IN RED LAKE, MN, AND NAVAJO GARDENING PROGRAMS IN LEHI, UT.IN ADDITION TO HEALTHY MEALS AND FOOD, IN FY23, RUNNING STRONG ALSO DISTRIBUTED THE FOLLOWING NEW ITEMS TO HELP NEEDY AMERICAN INDIAN CHILDREN:1,500 ELEMENTARY #STUDYSTRONG BACKPACKS FILLED WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES (24 CT. CRAYONS, ERASER, GLUE STICK, NOTEBOOK, PEN, NO. 2 PENCILS, RULER, PENCIL SHARPENER, 5" SCISSORS, PAPER), 1,494 JR.

ESSENTIAL (AND EXPENSIVE) BASICS INCLUDING 6,024 #SMILESTRONG DENTAL KITS (WITH TOOTHBRUSHES, TOOTHPASTE, FLOSSERS AND A TIMER) 12,384 BARS OF SOAP, 1,944 SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER SETS, 978 HAIR MASK PRODUCTS, AND 3,000 #SMILESTRONG FEMININE HYGIENE KITS AND 32,000 ADDITIONAL TAMPONS WERE DONATED FOR BETTER FEMININE AND ORAL HEALTH, WHICH OFTEN SUFFERS IN IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES. ALONG WITH DISTRIBUTIONS DIRECTLY TO FAMILIES ON PINE RIDGE RESERVATION, THESE BRAND-NEW ITEMS (LISTED ABOVE) WERE DONATED TO MEET CRITICAL NEEDS TO 16 COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN 10 STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

WATER - WATER IS A CRITICAL NEED AND THERE ARE STILL FAMILIES LIVING WITHOUT ACCESS TO SAFE RUNNING WATER ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS. ON THE PINE RIDGE INDIAN RESERVATION, OGLALA LAKOTA FAMILIES CAN LIVE WITHIN YARDS OF THE MNI WICONI (WATER IS LIFE) WATER LINE WITHOUT FUNDS TO SAFELY HOOK UP TO IT. IN FY23, RUNNING STRONG'S PINE RIDGE WATER PROJECT PROVIDED HYDRANTS, WATER CONNECTIONS, PLUMBING REPAIRS AND SEPTIC SYSTEMS TO 18 FAMILIES SO THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO CONTINUE TO LIVE WITHOUT WATER. SOME OF THESE OGLALA FAMILIES HAD LIVED WITHOUT RUNNING WATER FOR 4 YEARS OR HAD TO HAUL IT FROM UP TO 8 MILES AWAY.RUNNING STRONG IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SAFE ENVIRONMENTS FOR NATIVE FAMILIES, INCLUDING THEIR OWN HOMES. WINTERS ON THE PINE RIDGE INDIAN RESERVATION CAN BE BRUTAL WITH WINDCHILL TEMPERATURES AS LOW AS 40 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. IT'S DANGEROUS COLD. TO HELP STRETCH DOLLARS DURING THIS CRITICAL TIME, RUNNING STRONG MATCHES OGLALA FAMILIES 1:4 FOR, OR $400 MATCHED BY RUNNING STRONG TO EVERY $100 CONTRIBUTED BY THE FAMILY, TOWARDS FILLING THEIR PROPANE TANKS OR OFFSETTING THE COST OF THEIR HEATING BILLS. THIS FILLED EACH FAMILY'S PROPANE TANK FOR 6 WEEKS DURING THE WINTER. THIS YEAR'S EMERGENCY HEAT MATCH ON PINE RIDGE PROVIDED HEATING ASSISTANCE TO (8,049 INDIVIDUALS, 4,112 OF WHOM ARE CHILDREN.)

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
