Partners in Philanthropy
Dear Neighbors and Partners, While we come from different backgrounds, our struggles and our dreams bring us together. We are united as we work together to support the health and well-being of our families, protect our natural environment, foster education for our children and build better communities for all. I am humbled and gratified to report that the Yocha Dehe Community Fund has just completed its eleventh year funding nonprofit organizations involved in good works in our region and across the country. We have brought our total number of grantees to 296, and have contributed more than 19 million dollars in total funding. Reflecting on our activities for 2011, it is clear that our Board recognized the urgent need of many local social service organizations whose funding shortfalls were the result of severe budget cuts. We are deeply aware that government funded programs are struggling, and the consequent shortage of funding dollars for all nonprofits has been felt across the board. In this light, we focused heavily last year on supporting our neighbors and partners in Yolo County, while still maintaining our funding for important programs that operate in Indian Country. The 77 organizations that the Community Fund supported last year share a remarkable dedication to building a better future. We are honored to stand with them. Giving and serving others are core values of our tribal culture. We are proud of our community and neighbors who, through the strength of their work and actions, deliver hope, generate pride and create optimism for those around them. “We have to work with each other. Our earth is crying. And it’s crying for help. In the everyday movement of our country, you can make a difference. You can make a difference.�
We thank you for your commitment to building stronger communities and joining us as Partners in Philanthropy. Wile bo,
Billy Frank Jr., Nisqually

A Tradition of Giving
The Yocha Dehe Community Fund is dedicated to creating a healthy community through engaged philanthropy, deep community knowledge and awareness, and active leadership. Focusing on six core areas, the Community Fund uses philanthropy in ways that can effectively build a high quality of life for Yolo County residents and Native people wherever they live.
The tradition of giving and sharing is practiced in many ways among Native American tribes, all of them reaching back through centuries of honoring community members and sharing wealth and resources in a spirit of generosity. In many tribal cultures, giving away possessions is part of an entire way of life – one that creates powerful social bonds. When we are held in a web of trust and connection, we can give generously, knowing that when it is our turn we will be supported. The traditional values of giving and sharing and managing resources in a thoughtful way is nowhere more apparent than in the foundation and operation of the Yocha Dehe Community Fund.
“Children were encouraged to develop strict discipline and a high regard for sharing. When a girl picked her first berries and dug her first roots, they were given away to an elder so she would share her future success.” Mourning Dove, Salish
This philanthropic fund has created a remarkable demonstration of partnership with the community and region. The Community Fund is recognized as one of the first to be established formally by a Native American tribe in California and is a leader in local charitable giving. The Fund exists wholly independently from the Tribe’s obligations with Yolo County, and the Tribe receives no tax advantage for making these charitable contributions. The Yocha Dehe Community Fund provides philanthropic support to a variety of organizations with the overarching goal of building a better quality of life for Yolo County residents and Native people. The Tribe works in partnership with their neighbors and the wider community to ensure that their philanthropic contributions are strategically targeted to those organizations that are most likely to engender sustainable outcomes. Such strategic investments require significant levels of leadership, community engagement, knowledge and awareness. Since 2000, the Fund has contributed more than 19 million dollars in financial support to organizations involved in education, community health, arts and culture, environment, community development and social services. While Community Fund contributions are made to a variety of organizations throughout the region, state and nation, there is a significant focus on Yolo County programs.

Consistent with its mission, the Board strives to develop strategic partnerships that will result in long-lasting community impacts. Focusing on six core areas, the Community Fund uses philanthropy in ways that can effectively build a high quality of life for Yolo County residents and Native people wherever they live.

Helping People Help Themselves It is important for people to take an active role in improving their own circumstances. The Yocha Dehe Community Fund supports organizations helping people make a difference in their own lives, whether this takes the form of job skills training, temporary economic assistance or facilitating access to information services. Native Health and Wellness Native health and wellness is central to the survival and well-being of Native communities. The Fund is dedicated to working to improve the health of Native people, especially in the areas of diabetes, obesity and stroke, including the promotion of improved nutrition and access to healthy food options. Supporting nutrition education and better access to fresh, healthy food is of prime concern.
Native Rights and Tribal Sovereignty Tribal sovereignty is essential for Native communities to thrive. The Yocha Dehe Community Fund supports organizations that allow tribes to exercise their inherent right to maintain distinct identities, traditions, laws and human rights. The broader public is generally unaware of the issues surrounding Native rights and sovereignty and a critical part of education is capturing and disseminating the history of tribal governmental relations. Steward the Natural Environment All people should strive to be in harmony with the earth. The Fund supports efforts to promote better environmental stewardship, reduced and more effective use of natural resources, and planning that explicitly includes the interests of succeeding generations. Exposing children to natural beauty and stewardship of the environment will result in greater levels of awareness and responsibility in future generations of adults. Native Arts and Culture Language and the arts are necessary components of cultural identity. The Yocha Dehe Community Fund supports organizations that nurture the arts as expressions of culture. The Tribe is committed to the preservation and protection of Native art and culture, and to ensuring that languages of Native people be preserved and taught.
“Civic involvement is a fertile earth from which leadership grows. But also know who you are — your family, your culture, your values, goals and purpose. You can’t look forward unless you know where you came from.” Peggy Flanagan, White Earth Band of Ojibwe
