We inspire and steward generosity to foster vibrant, inclusive, and healthy communities throughout Mendocino County.
The fund aims to support nonprofit organizations in Mendocino County through grants in two main categories: small business and entrepreneurship development, and workforce development. For the former, it focuses on infrastructure and support for startups, technical assistance for nonprofits’ earned income strategies, capacity-building among local development partners, and K-16 entrepreneurial education. The workforce development category emphasizes collaborative projects for job training and certification in fields like agriculture, manufacturing, health care, natural resources, or tourism, alongside work readiness programs for high school students.
