Sonoma County has seen unimaginable hardship these past five years.
A fire that destroyed over 5,300 homes in 2017, flooding and a 77,000 acre fire in 2019, and now the compounding burden of the coronavirus.
Since launching in 2017, we have made more than $15 million in grants to support nonprofit organizations working on the front lines of disaster recovery in Sonoma County.
We help nonprofit organizations build their capacity to address the most vulnerable populations in our community, and create meaningful and lasting change.
From the client who wants to make an immediate philanthropic impact, to the couple hoping to leave a legacy, our team of philanthropic professionals helps you facilitate finding the best solutions for your clients.
