Cypress Mandela Training Center, Inc.

Cafe Ohlone is a testament to the strength and permanence of Ohlone people and culture. It is the only cultural space for Ohlone people led by Ohlone people and is the only Ohlone restaurant in the world. Our work is multifaceted and promotes language restoration, traditional arts, Ohlone culinary traditions, and climate justice through land rehabilitation.

Now is a critical time to become a partner in Cafe Ohlone’s work as we embark on a new project to reacquire lands to return to their indigenous stewards. Through this effort, called Ohlone Land, East Bay land will be purchased to create a thriving culinary and educational center, gardens, and demonstration spaces based our community's place-based, time tested, hyper-localized land management practices; these practices have been proven to be integral to the restoration and sustained health of the land here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Make a donation to Cafe Ohlone today to support our land reacquisition and restoration project!

(Please note--the fundraiser specifies Cypress Mandela as the recipient; Cypress Mandela is Cafe Ohlone's fiscal sponsor, taking care of financial management and oversight of all tax-deductible donations so the team at Cafe Ohlone can focus on cultural work.)
