Help us meet the needs of the people

Much of our funding is from federal grants, local foundations, and private donations. Despite these sources, many grants are restrictive and do not cover general operating funds. As our mission moves forward and we expand, we require additional staffing, equipment, and supplies.

Your gift makes a difference. Wambli Ska is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and honoring our cultural heritage for generations to come. Every donation — large or small — helps sustain traditions, stories, and community connections that matter.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

“The teen center is a part of my life. It has helped me with my community service and keeping my head above water. They have helped me with my schooling too, with resources and keeping me on time and on task. I get to see my friends and have a nice place to go after school. Also, the teen center keeps me updated and feeds me so that’s a major plus.”
