We’re honored that the Orangevale-Fair Oaks Community Foundation has been selected as one of ten nonprofits in the Sacramento Countywide Nonprofit Partnership Initiative! ✨
This opportunity helps support our Food Bank’s work serving neighbors in our community facing food insecurity.
Thank you, Sacramento Region Community Foundation! We’re excited to be part of this meaningful program and look forward to growing stronger together for the community we serve.
We’re proud to announce the ten nonprofit organizations selected to participate in the inaugural cohort of the Sacramento Countywide Nonprofit Partnership Initiative (SCNPI), a 20-month capacity-building program designed to strengthen the sustainability of mid-sized nonprofits serving Sacramento County residents in partnership with the County of Sacramento.

Selected organizations work across Sacramento County to address homelessness, housing instability, and food insecurity — some of the region's most pressing challenges. Through SCNPI, each organization will receive practical training and workshops, one-on-one technical assistance, peer learning opportunities, mentorship from experienced nonprofit leaders, and flexible grant funding to support organizational improvements.
