Funding for the American Indian Veterans Memorial have been collected with the assistance of the American Indian Alaska Native Veterans Memorial Committee (AIANVMC). That group has reached out to tribal nations throughout the country and to individuals, groups and businesses as well. Working together the RNCSC and the AIANVMC have collected $1,150,000 to date. All donations are handled by the RNCSC Treasurer and reserved solely for construction-related costs. Through the combined efforts of the Committees $986,235 Costs for the Project, listed below, have already been paid:
