Affiliates of the Community Foundation - Making Local Communities Better

The Healdsburg Area Fund is the first established affiliate of Community Foundation Sonoma County. Community-based affiliate organizations are the perfect bridge to bring the services of the Community Foundation into localized, geographic areas of Sonoma County. Each affiliate operates in a specific sub-area, with board members and donors from that community. Each has its own discretionary grantmaking program and develops its own presence in the area served. Affiliates benefit from the broad resources of the Community Foundation, including a comprehensive investment program, professional staff services, grantmaking expertise, legal knowledge and administrative support.

Healdsburg Area Fund - A Targeted Community Solution

The Healdsburg Area Fund brings together charitable donors, community leaders and nonprofit organizations with an understanding of specific local needs and opportunities. Community Foundation Sonoma County serves as fiduciary and mentor. The HAF Board considers grant applications for programs or projects that directly benefits residents of the greater Healdsburg/Geyserville area, specifically within the 95448 and 95441 zip codes. Grants are awarded each fall.
