Redding Rancheria Community Fund

The Redding Rancheria Community Fund is supported by the Redding Rancheria, a federally recognized Tribe whose members are of Pit River, Yana, and Wintu descent. The Tribe operates a range of entities including the Tribal administration offices, the Redding Rancheria Headstart & Child Care, the Redding Rancheria Tribal Health Center, Churn Creek Healthcare, Trinity Healthcare, Win-River Mini-Mart, Win-River Resort & Casino, and the Hilton Garden Inn. In addition to operating these community-serving entities, the Rancheria has established the Community Fund to reinvest in its surrounding region and to give back to worthy causes. The purpose of the Community Fund is to support charitable efforts that directly benefit communities within Shasta and Trinity counties. The fund prioritizes proposals serving Native Americans, youth, and rural populations. Grants are intended to provide general support but exclude salaries. Allowable uses of funding may include capital improvements and renovations, acquisition of equipment, program support, or expansion of services. By excluding salary coverage but allowing broad project and programmatic support, the fund emphasizes investment in durable improvements and tangible community benefit. Organizations eligible for funding must be serving communities in Shasta County or Trinity County, California. There are no indications that applications from outside these counties will be considered, and the guidelines clearly state that only organizations or projects in these counties are eligible.
