Causes: Community Foundations, Philanthropy, Public Foundations

Mission: The Solano Community Foundation is dedicated to strengthening our community both now and for future generations. The Foundation is a vehicle for private donors to make a lasting contribution to our community.

Programs: Scf's main goal is to meet the needs of our donors and community through foundation and donor fund grantmaking. We help them meet their particular philanthropic goals, maximize their investment, and achieve the highest tax savings. We work with individuals, groups, businesses, and organizations to establish endowed or non-endowed funds. Donor funds make grants to qualified nonprofits whose missions and activities match their philanthropic interests. These programs include competitive and noncompetive grant awards, and span different program interest areas, including arts and culture, education, health and social services, the environment, veterans, senior services, and community development. Through donor funds we build community partnerships over time through giving.
