NATIVE AMERICAN CANCER INITIATIVES, INC.

Native American Cancer Initiatives, Inc. (NACI) is a small, minority (American Indian), woman-owned for-profit business founded in 1998 and based in Pine, Colorado. NACI provides technical assistance, program development, staff training, cultural consultation, and program evaluation services across the full continuum of cancer care — from outreach and prevention through end-of-life support — with a specific focus on American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The organization works under a fee-for-service model, averaging approximately five contracts per year with NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers, indigenous health organizations, and national nonprofits including the American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen. NACI has received multiple NIH SBIR research grants and is closely affiliated with the Native American Cancer Research Corporation (NACR), a related nonprofit operating from the same Pine, CO location.
