The First Peoples Community Center (FPCC) serves Native individuals and families through cultural connection, education, economic opportunities and health-focused initiatives. We have been steadily growing our organizational capacity since 2025 and convening community to implement Indigenous innovation to our program design.
Our organization is intergenerational and intertribal in service.
Since the FPCC inception, we have built a Native library, launched our Tribal Citizenship & Community Education Series, supported Thursday Culture Nights and expanded cultural access initiatives like the Spring Bison Blessing, Fall Harvest Dinner, & transportation to Denver March Powwow for Native families and youth.
FPCC works alongside Native youth and young adults to enhance cultural knowledge, community relationships, and opportunities to engage in civic decision-making processes that effect them and their local community. Additionally, our organization encourages Native community members to participate in local advocacy projects that directly impact Native health, recreation and cultural lifeways. We do this work by hosting Listening Sessions and inviting community leaders and governmental representatives to hear the concerns, needs, and ideas of our Native people.
This is the beginning, we encourage you to join this journey alongside us.
Testimonial
"...My grandkids asked me if we really were going to have an “Indian Center” like the one they have in Denver. I replied, “Yes, but probably not in my lifetime, but for sure in yours.” It is now 2026, and the FPCC has been established with a building/offices approved by the City, and a new Executive Director has been hired. Please know that we are proud of the FPCC and we support all its efforts. We appreciate any support that your organization can provide to the FPCC and our community. We finally feel like we have a central hub for all Native American resources, information, and support."

Thank you for your donation and support. We are committed to continuing this work and growing into a centralized space where Native people can gather, connect, and learn.
The First Peoples’ Community Center (FPCC) is a community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is responsive to the needs of Native American/Indigenous people in the City of Fort Collins and the surrounding area. The purpose is to support the community to connect to each other and to the land and its inhabitants. FPCC will create a forum to identify and illuminate traditional values and support healthy traditional lifestyles in balance with the modern world. We seek to foster a community that is resilient, respectful, inclusive and recognizes the diversity of Native America.
Since our 501C(3) approval in April 2025, we have been steadily growing our organizational capacity and convening community to implement Indigenous innovation to our program design.
At this time, we are seeking support with the following initiatives:
