Mission Statement
We believe in helping a community help itself. To this end, we support local groups in their efforts to improve and develop the North State.
Our focus is clear and simple — Support education related activities that encourage our community to obtain higher education.
- We support the end goal of higher education
- We support education related activities that better the economic landscape of our local counties.
- We support activities that further the goals of improving the quality of life for local residents — usually through the investment into education and the resulting return to our surrounding communities.
Here are examples of what we do not contribute or sponsor:
- Sponsorship of any racing vehicles
- Fund raisers for an individual. As much as we would like to help all in need, we are trying to serve the good of an entire community through our donations.
- Sponsorship of sporting or entertainment events, unless the specific goal is the support of higher education for our local communities.
There are two types of grants available: Monetary and Prize. If approved, the applying party will receive a formal approval letter along with donation prizes or a check.
Monetary Grant
Maximum of $5,000 per application. Actual amount will depend on the applicant’s merits. We do not fund recurring expenses, and future grants to the same applicant must be for different projects.
Only those applicants who meet our goals will be reviewed for the selection process. These proposals will be examined and funds awarded based upon their merit. Funds will be distributed before the end of each quarter.
Prize or Auction Donations
Should you only desire prize donations for auctions or raffles, you may apply to items such as free buffets, dinners or rounds of golf. The prize amount is limited to $350 and granting the prize will depend on how your event, auction or raffle furthers local area community development through education.
We only review applications for selection quarterly, so depending on our review schedule, it could be 90 days before you receive a response. We simply are unable to review or fill requests faster than this. Please take this into consideration before you apply.

The Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians, or in their own language Nomlāqa Bōda, is a federally recognized tribe of Nomlaki people.[4] The Nomlaki are Central Wintun, or River and Hill Nomlaki,[1] an indigenous people of California, located in Tehama and Glenn counties.[3]
The Tribe[edit]

The Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians has approximately 240 members. The Tribe is governed by the Tribal Council, which is composed of the tribal chairperson, vice-chairperson, treasurer, secretary and member at large. These five members are elected by the General Council.[5]
History[edit]
There were two major divisions of Nomlaki Indians in California: the Hill Nomlaki and the River Nomlaki. The Paskenta Nomlaki occupying the territory east of the Coastal Range now known as Tehama and Glenn counties.[6]
Nomlaki tribes lived in villages under the leadership of a chieftain. These villages had a population of 25 to 200 people. The chief's house was larger than the others and formed the center of the village, facing the water source. In addition to serving as the chief's residence, it was the men's house and focal point of village life. Other houses in the village were constructed from bent saplings with vine and thatch; they faced the chief's house.[7]
The Nomlaki's primary foods were acorns, grass seeds and tubers, deer, elk, rabbits, birds, and fish. All men hunted, but some specialized in certain techniques and methods. Hunting was done both in groups and individually with bows and arrows, clubs, nets, snares, and traps. Women, often working groups, gathered many different seeds and tubers, including at least eight varieties of acorns. In the spring, salt was obtained from stream banks.[7]
The Paskenta Rancheria was created, along with other Wintu Rancherias, in 1906 and 1909. In 1920, the rancheria was 260-acres. In 1959, the rancheria was terminated under the California Rancheria Termination Act, and the lands were sold to non-Native peoples. Despite the denial of federally recognized tribal status, the Paskenta Band maintained its tribal identity and culture while it worked for restoration as a Native American tribe. Finally in 1994, the federal government restored the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians to full tribal status. The current rancheria is 2000-acres large.
The Paskenta Band is headquartered in Corning, California. The current tribal chairperson is Andrew “Dru” Alejandre, who succeeds Andy Freeman and Everett Freeman,[8] who was instrumental in the tribal regaining their tribal recognition.
Programs[edit]
The Tribe established the Rolling Hills Community Development Foundation, which supports local groups in their efforts to improve and develop the North State. The Foundation funds programs with the end goal of higher education, education related activities that better the economic landscape of local counties, and activities that further the goals of improving the quality of life for local residents and surrounding communities.[9]
