The Native American values of giving, sharing and managing resources in a thoughtful way is nowhere more apparent than in the foundation and operation of Rumsey’s Yocha-De-He Community Fund.

Over the past decade, the fund has provided  more than $12 million in financial support to more than 260 organizations involved in education, community health, arts and culture, environment, community development and social services.

The creation of this philanthropic fund was an unusual demonstration of partnership with the community. The Community Fund is recognized as one of the first to be established formally by a Native American tribe in California and is a prominant leader in local charitable giving.

The fund exists wholly independent from the Tribe’s obligations with Yolo County, and the Tribe receives no tax advantage for making these charitable contributions.
