Some organizations offer lavish parties or other year-end perks to their employees. At Community Foundation Sonoma County, the best perk for our staff is the opportunity to make grants to local nonprofits in our community which are personally meaningful to them.
While we have so many worthy and amazing organizations to support, each staff member thoughtfully (and not without difficultly) determined just one. This year, we wanted to share with you the list of organizations receiving the staff discretionary grants. (We love how diverse the list is!)
