My Nonprofit Reviews

The Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation is a vital partner to the Sonoma County Regional Parks system. Its leadership is stellar; its board of directors is highly engaged, and its dynamic executive director heads up a lean, talented team. I regularly donate to the Parks Foundation with confidence that my gift will be used for a cause that matters so much to me -- helping assure access to our beloved parks for people who may face barriers to using them, and supporting projects that rangers and park stewards deem important. Studies continue to underscore the value of natural spaces to our health and well-being. The Parks Foundation does a great job promoting our parks and fundraising for improvements that help make them excellent!

I spend time in Sonoma County parks every week, and I am a donor to the Parks Foundation. As a Sebastopol resident I consider Ragle Ranch like my second home! There are a lot of needs in our parks that simply cannot be funded through the County budget alone, and sometimes there are also needs that are time sensitive, to which a government agency is not agile enough to respond in time. That's where the Parks Foundation comes in. I love the fact that the Foundation helps the staff of Regional Parks buy important equipment that makes their jobs easier and makes them more efficient! And I like that the Parks Foundation provides matching funds to Regional Parks which provide leverage to secure millions of dollars in grants every year.
