Light Up Navajo Donations & Contributions

The Light Up Navajo Pilot Project was created from conversations with members of the American Public Power Association (APPA). In Spring 2019, the NTUA partnered with the APPA to connect Navajo homes to the electric grid by creating an innovative, pioneering pilot project called Light Up Navajo (LUN). The goal was to energize Navajo homes at an expedited pace, helping to improve the standard of life for Navajo families living without electricity.  The project was modeled much like the concept of providing mutual aid. It was first of its kind between electric utilities and NTUA.

Your generous charitable contribution will be applied towards the Light Up Navajo initiative. Your donation can be considered tax deductible. Your charitable contribution to the Light Up Navajo project, NTUA is defined as an Indian tribal government and/or its political subdivision under Section 7871 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). As a result of being an Indian tribe described in IRC Section 7871 a federally recognized tribe and/or its political subdivision is determined by the IRS to be an organization to which contributions may be tax deductible, as provided in IRC Section 170. Attached is a tax record form to insert your charitable contributions to Light Up Navajo project.
