Overview

The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians continually shares its good fortune with the local community. Since opening its first casino in Palm Springs, the Tribe has contributed over $21 million to local, civic and public service agencies, youth groups, healthcare organizations, schools, libraries, and food banks. Our Marine Hotel Program provides food and lodging at the Spa Resort Hotel for military personnel.

Geographical Preferences

The ACBCI prefers funding charitable organizations that provide service to the Tribe’s historic home territory or reservation boundaries.

How To Apply

Grant application requests for funding are preferred, but not limited to, non-profit organizations with 501(c) classification. The application process takes approximately 30-45 days. All requirements are listed on the application. If information is missing from the application, it may be deemed incomplete and rejected by the Charitable Director. The Tribal Council makes the final determination. If the Tribal Council denies the application, you will be notified by mail. If your grant application is approved, the ACBCI will require periodic evaluation reports.

ACBCI does not wish to fund individual requests, religious organizations, galas, or fundraisers that do not support the Tribe’s specific ideals.
