Major funding by The Ernest L. and Ruth W. Finley Foundation


Community Foundation Sonoma County - http://www.sonomacf.org/

We strengthen our local communities through effective philanthropy and civic engagement by making grants to fund important needs in Sonoma County and beyond.  Through a community foundation, people with philanthropic interests can easily and effectively support the issues they care about - immediately, or through their estates after their lifetime.  We encourage donors to partner with us in fulfilling their financial and charitable goals.

Community Foundation Sonoma County has been a tremendous support to the Free Bookmobile over the years with access to grant programs, community action workgroups, and donor-advised funding.

 

Active 20-30 Club #50 of Santa Rosa - http://active2030sr.com/

Active 20-30 clubs provide young adults with an opportunity for personal growth, friendships and leadership development while improving the quality of life for the special needs children in their community. Our local organization, Active 20-30 Club of Santa Rosa #50, is a group of like-minded young professionals between the ages of 20-39 who volunteer to improve the lives of  underprivileged youth in Santa Rosa. We do this through large scale fundraisers, but more importantly through direct philanthropic endeavors.

The Active 20-30 of Santa Rosa #50 meets every Tuesday at lunch. If you are between the ages of 20 and 39, live in the Santa Rosa area and are interested in joining our Club, click here to contact us to find a sponsor and join us at one of our lunch meetings.

 

First 5 Sonoma County - http://first5sonoma.org/

First 5 Sonoma County invests in Sonoma County's youngest children by funding programs and services that promote, support, and improve the early development of children from the prenatal stage through age five.  Traditionally, our communities invest most heavily in children during their school years, yet brain research shows that children's brains develop most dramatically in their first five years of live.  At this early age, the foundation of a child's life-long potential is established, so investing in these early years makes the biggest difference.

Children who start out in safe, nurturing environments grow up to be happier, healthier people.  They become contributing members of our community.  First 5 supports the health and well-being of children and their families to prepare children to succeed - at home, at school, in life.

 

Codding Foundation

Established as part of Hugh Codding's legacy, the Codding Foundation has provided crucial support for many service projects and organizations throughout Sonoma County, including literacy-based programs such as the Free Bookmobile.  Foundation President Connie Codding has also emphasized family planning and health care for children in her generous giving.

Together, Rotary clubs, Rotary International, and The Rotary Foundation work to make lasting improvements in our communities and around the world.

 

Kiwanis Clubs of Sonoma County - http://kiwanis.org

Kiwanis clubs, located in 80 nations, help their communities in countless ways. Each community’s needs are different—so each Kiwanis club is different. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things happen.

Service footprint: Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage nearly 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects.

A family of servant leaders: Kiwanis clubs focus on changing the world by serving children, one child and one community at a time. To do this, many clubs also sponsor a Kiwanis family club—K-Kids for primary school children; Builders Clubs for adolescents; Key Clubs for teens; CKI clubs for university students and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities—to reach more people and have a greater service impact on their communities.

Umpqua Bank - http://www.umpquabank.com


There's a sign that hangs in every Umpqua Bank store that reads, "Welcome to the World's Greatest Bank." This is not a tagline, it's a state of mind.

It's making sure every customer who walks into our stores or commercial centers is a better person for having banked with us. It's nearly 2,000 of us, from Western Washington to Eastern Oregon to Northern California, building something that's never been built before. Something people can believe in and communities can feel connected to.
