$25,000 Goal

Since the Sacramento Region Community Foundation was founded in 1983 by local leaders, we have been the region's primary provider of philanthropic services. Like other place-based community foundations, we promote philanthropy that is visionary, strategic, and inclusive.

We manage 800 charitable funds for local families, businesses, and nonprofits. Annual grants awarded to nonprofits and students from our charitable funds have grown to nearly $24 million in 2024 and $275 million since 1983. To learn more about opening a charitable fund with us, please visit our website

In some ways, our work is simple: We partner with people who care to transform the capital area for good, for all. But the challenges we address through our work are complex and tackling them in ways that make meaningful impact requires partnership. When you make a gift to our GivingEdge profile, you contribute to our community's Impact Fund. By making a gift at one of the indicated levels, you also join our Impact Collaborative and enjoy access to gatherings and seminars that put you in touch with conversations at the heart of philanthropy in the Sacramento region.

Mission

The Sacramento Region Community Foundation leads, serves, and inspires enduring philanthropy for a just and vibrant Sacramento region.

Needs

Creating a Sacramento region where everyone flourishes requires united, sustained action. Together with our neighbors, we make investments that fortify the local social sector and champion bold, strategic solutions to some of our community's most pressing needs — such as food insecurity in Yolo County, provide access to culturally relevant mental health services in Sacramento County, and barriers to college completion for area students.

You can help to power this work. With your donation to the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, you support collaborative efforts to advance equity and enhance the quality of life for all in our region.

Equity Statement

As the capital area’s community foundation, we recognize that how we show up for local communities today will shape the future of our region. Ensuring the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are fully integrated in our policies, processes, and programs is a key priority in our Strategic Roadmap. Among other activities, we are ensuring our grantmaking and leadership efforts are guided by the communities we serve — particularly by the people closest to the complex challenges that face the capital region — and committing resources to help our partners drive meaningful change.
