Intertribal Friendship House

Greeting’s Dear Relatives,

The Intertribal Friendship House is proud to be a home for the community where cultural healing, food security, monthly elders’ gatherings, connecting community members to housing and workforce development resources, memorials, and youth leadership development take place. IFH is a safe space where intergenerational healing and cultural teachings thrive.

We humbly ask for your support of financial donations, services, time, or skills. It takes the community to ensure IFH is around for many more generations to come. Thank you for being a part of the sustainability of IFH. All contributions have a significant positive impact on our community. If you can help, please send your tax-deductible donations to: IFH, 523 International Blvd, Oakland, CA 94606, or donate securely on our website at www.ifhurbanrez.org by clicking on the donation blanket or at Might Cause.

Bequests, employer matches, monthly contributions, Facebook birthday fundraisers, in-kind donations, and any suggestions you might share on revenue ideas are welcome.

Our Mission: To promote the ability of Native people to thrive in an urban environment through ceremony, traditions and cultural connection. To provide a safe environment to strengthen cultural identity, promote health, inter-generational healing and support the development of extended family.

Our Vision: We envision a future where Native people in the Bay Area are rooted in strong cultural connection and intergenerational healing, and invested in our traditions that will help future generations survive.

We are honored that IFH will be celebrating its 70th Anniversary in 2025. This is a testament to the resiliency and commitment of our community. We are still here!

In Service,

Lorena Rivera, IFH Executive Director
