Donation Guidelines
For over 20 years, the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (Tribe) has supported our local community through donations, in-kind contributions, sponsorships, and partnerships. In order to achieve the greatest impact, the majority of our giving is focused in the North Bay, especially Marin and Sonoma counties, and in accordance with our mission that gives high priority to matters of social justice and environmental stewardship. Please see our guiding principles and criteria to see if your non-profit organization is compatible with the Tribe’s focus.
The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria supports effective, tax-exempt, 501(c)3 non-profit organizations and 501(c)4 non-profit organizations that share the Tribe’s commitment to education, social justice, environmental stewardship, and cultural preservation.

We expect our potential partners to conduct their business affairs with integrity.
