The Arata Brothers Trust was formed by three brothers, Andrew, Charles, and Frank Arata, who benefited from the Sacramento community through their successful grocery operation, Arata Brothers Grocers. This grocery business existed in the Sacramento area from the early 1900's until 1967. The trust began in 1979 after the death of the last of the brothers. Their two primary preferences were: 1. Grantees be located in the Sacramento area since the equity in the trust was from profits made in the Sacramento community, and 2. Granting benefits to children should be a primary focus To date, the grants exceed $16,000,000, primarily to the Sacramento region.
