Committed to building strong communities.

The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation is committed to building strong communities and helping those in need. In 2000, the Tribe established the Community Fund to advance this mission. To date, the Community Fund has established partnerships with more than 400 different organizations throughout Yolo County, the state and nation, and granted nearly $40 million in philanthropic aid to support programs and initiatives dedicated to assisting people in need.

The Tribe’s Community Fund Board Members are actively involved in the grant process, participating in site visits and reviewing the progress and outcomes of funded programs. Some of the recently funded programs are the Robinson Rancheria Environmental Center, Healthy Vallejo Community Support Services, American Indian College Fund, and Autism Speaks.

The Community Fund prioritizes applications that support initiatives in health and wellness, education, Native arts and culture, environmental protection, and the advancement of Native rights and Tribal sovereignty.
