💙 The power of community philanthropy was on full display this fall!🍂

Through 100+ Women Strong Inland Mendo and 100 Women Strong Mendocino Coast, hundreds of community members came together to learn about local needs, support local nonprofits, and invest in meaningful solutions.

Together, participants raised more than $30,000 for Mendocino County organizations.👏👏👏

This year also marked an exciting milestone with the introduction of a youth philanthropy component, giving local teens the opportunity to learn about community needs and cast their votes alongside other participants. We were inspired by their thoughtfulness, enthusiasm, and commitment to making a difference.

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, and helped make these events possible. We can't wait to see you next spring! 🌸

We believe the best ideas are worth bringing home. 💙 Our team recently attended the League of California Community Foundations Conference, where 42 foundations from across the state came together to learn, collaborate, and imagine what's next.

We’re excited to put that learning into action alongside our donors and partners as we continue building a stronger, more vibrant future for Mendocino County. 🤩

💙 This is philanthropy in action.

More than 130 nonprofit organizations recently applied for funding through our annual Field-of-Interest grant cycle, sharing projects and programs designed to strengthen Mendocino County. From arts education and environmental stewardship to youth development, health, and family support, the applications reflect the incredible work happening throughout our region.

After weeks of thoughtful review by more than 30 volunteer and expert reviewers, we have entered one of the most exciting stages of the process: connecting community needs with donor generosity. Our team is now matching highly rated proposals with the charitable funds that donors have created to support the causes they care about most, while also identifying opportunities to fund as many worthy projects as possible.

Every proposal represents a vision for a stronger community. Every grant represents a donor's commitment to making that vision a reality.
We look forward to announcing this year's grant recipients in early November and sharing the impact that your generosity helps make possible.

🎓 Taylor Denham and Amy Cline spent the afternoon at the Ukiah High School College & Career Fair, helping students explore scholarship opportunities and dream about the future.

Thanks to local donors who have established scholarship funds, students across Mendocino County have access to resources that help turn educational goals into reality.

And there's more good news: the Community Foundation's scholarship application cycle opens December 1!

We can't wait to see where this year's scholarship applicants will go next. 💙

The Fort Bragg - Mendocino County Library will host the Day of the Dead Altar Hall, a welcoming gathering place to remember, honor, and celebrate the lives of those who have touched our hearts and are no longer with us. 🕯️

This space will feature a collection of personal altars created by members of our community. Each altar offers a personal and meaningful way to remember loved ones, share their stories, and keep their memories close. Everyone is invited to stop by, spend some time, and experience these beautiful tributes created with love and remembrance.

This project is funded in part by the Community Support Grant Program of the The Community Foundation of Mendocino County and Friends of Health on the Northern Mendocino Coast

What inspires someone to spend decades investing in their community?

For Monte and Kay Hill, the answer has always been simple: support the people, places, and organizations that make Mendocino County special.

Through decades of volunteer leadership, philanthropy, and civic engagement, the Hills have helped strengthen countless community institutions. Their generosity continues through the Monte and Kay Hill Family Fund, supporting nonprofits and causes that make our communities stronger.

As we celebrate Monte's recognition as the Community Foundation's newest Board Emeritus member, we're also honoring a family whose commitment to giving has helped shape Mendocino County for more than sixty years.
Read their story and discover the lasting impact of a lifetime of generosity. ❤️
