Huukuiko, Inc., the nonprofit arm of the Coast Miwok Tribal Council of Marin, closed the $1.3 million deal to buy the land on July 3.
The purchase amount was collected in about two months in a whirlwind, 11th-hour fundraising campaign that drew in more than 85 individual and family foundation donors, said Nancy Binzen, a consultant with the tribe.Bruce family gets deed back to California beach land stolen from Black entrepreneurs in 1920s
After seeing the listing on April 26, and securing an extended 60-day close agreement with the sellers around May 3, campaign organizers Binzen and Sanchez hustled to meet a June 20 escrow deadline to put up a portion of the price tag. To seal the deal on July 3, they raised the final balance only hours earlier, Binzen said.
The campaign ultimately raised several hundred thousand dollars more than the $1.3 million purchase price, allowing the nonprofit to start a fund for programs, events and construction at the site. The sellers, Nicole and Peter Mollison, said they chose to accept the Coast Miwok’s offer out of several interested potential buyers after receiving a letter from the tribe. The couple have owned the property for about a year, Nicole Mollison said.California task force on reparations sends recommendations to lawmakers on compensation, public apology
