It is to provide personnel policies and procedures which will best serve the needs of the north american indian alliance (naia) board of directors, the staff of the organization and the native american community. Employees are asked no less than excellent service in their jobs with the promise of equal treatment in return from the naia board of directors. It is to treat all staff with respect and dignity, and to ensure that the staff has the support of the naia board of directors.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
