Local leaders launched the Sacramento Region Community Foundation in 1983, and over the past 40+ years, 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.

The Foundation manages over 800 charitable funds for local families, businesses, and nonprofits. Annual grants awarded to nonprofits and students from our charitable funds have grown to $22.5 million in 2025 and $300 million since 1983.

For those interested in exploring local philanthropy part of the solution is to join the Impact Collaborative. It’s designed for people in the Sacramento region who want to make a difference locally — and who value learning and connection along the way. When you join, you combine your contribution with fellow members, learn about local nonprofits, and help decide where to invest charitable dollars to make the greatest difference in the Sacramento region. This year, when you make a gift to the Foundation through Big Day of Giving, your gifts supports the Impact Collaborative. Membership is $300 for the year (or $25/month) and includes the opportunity to gather with others who care about the region, visit nonprofits, meet local philanthropists, and use your voice to help decide which nonprofit will receive the pooled funds raised through 2026.

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 integrated in our policies, processes, and programs is a key priority. 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.
