After you build a profitable casino, luxurious hotel and championship golf course, create an award-winning wine label, manage more than 11,000 acres of farm and ranch land — including 300 head of cattle — and on top of it all, buy back your original tribal lands, what on earth do you do for an encore?

If you’re the very enterprising, 62-member Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation of California’s Capay Valley, you make 100 percent premium extra-virgin olive oil, marketed under the tribe’s distinguished Séka Hills label.

The Fund has provided more than $20 million in grants since 2000. 

New computers and other technology-based teaching aids are on the way to Winters High School, Winters Middle School and Wolfskill Continuation High School, thanks to a $353,720 grant from the Yocha Dehe Community Fund.

The new grant builds on an initial $239,720 grant awarded to the Winters Combined PTA by the Community Fund in November 2011.

The Woodland Community College's Foster & Kinship Care Education Foundation received a $48,500 donation from the Yocha Dehe Community Fund to serve Yolo County youth in foster care.

Kris Stanfill, YDCF Director stated, "The Committee is excited to be a part of supporting Yolo County Foster Care and the efforts to recruit and retain local families for local children."
