Nonprofit Initiative
Helping local nonprofits thrive.
Strengthening Local Nonprofits
In 2021, Placer Community Foundation commissioned a study to examine how the Covid pandemic affected our local nonprofit sector. The report illuminates the economic and social contributions the sector provides our county, the affect the pandemic had on their operations, and why public and private dollars to support their operations are critical to their work.

Placer Community Foundation designed the Nonprofit Initiative to help local nonprofit organizations thrive and grow. Targeted to nonprofits serving residents along the western slope of Placer County, the program helps organizations deliver higher quality, more sustainable, more valuable community services.
In 2022, this program served 168 nonprofits with free training on a variety of relevant topics. By accessing the programming of this initiative, local nonprofit organizations can more effectively assess progress, develop people, plan growth, and manage operations.
The Nonprofit Leadership Summit has done more to advance our charity than any other single event.
