Funding Priorities
We seek to fund critical needs, new ventures, and innovative ways to solve social problems.
Each year, we will award an Impact Grant of $100,000 and we encourage all Sonoma Valley nonprofits with the vision and capacity to manage a gift of this size to apply for an Impact Grant.
Impact100 Sonoma is interested in funding projects that:
- are conducted by organizations with limited access to funding on this scale
- have a long-term positive impact
- reach a significant number of people
- benefit an underserved population
Impact100 Sonoma has identified the following five Focus Areas and will appoint committees to review grant applications in these categories.
