We’re thrilled to share our 2025 Impact Report with you!

This report is more than a summary of dollars granted or programs funded — it’s a celebration of what’s possible when our community comes together with purpose. It tells the story of collaboration, creativity, and compassion making a lasting difference across northern Sonoma County.

At the Foundation, we see our role as both incubator and convener — bringing people and ideas together to create the conditions where everyone can thrive. As you’ll read below, this year has seen the instigation or advancement of vital initiatives to strengthen our region’s system of care and serve and empower its most vulnerable residents. Throughout, our work has centered on listening deeply, responding thoughtfully, and planning boldly so that every person in our region has the opportunity to live their healthiest life.

Because healthcare isn’t just a clinic visit or a prescription — it’s mental health, connection, belonging, transportation, nutritious food, and economic opportunity. Research shows that 80% of our health outcomes are shaped by the conditions in which we live, work, and play — and those conditions are where our focus remains.

With our newly completed strategic plan, we’re redoubling our commitment to strengthen these conditions for all. Naturally, we couldn’t do it without the incredible nonprofit and healthcare leaders who make this work real every day. With their insights, expertise, and collaboration our community continues advancing toward a healthier, more equitable future.

In short, healthcare is community — when we trust and invest in each other, everyone benefits. To our donors, partners, and collaborators — thank you. Your generosity, trust, and shared belief in the power of community make this work possible. Every dollar, every partnership, and every act of collaboration fuels progress and deepens our collective impact. Together, we are reimagining what healthcare means — and proving that when we invest in people, we invest in healthful and lasting change.
