Coronavirus Response: Donate Today to Help Your Community

Community Foundation Sonoma County is following the spread of COVID-19 (the Coronavirus) in our community, and stands ready to help if needed.

While the virus is international, there may become a time when our most vulnerable community members are significantly impacted. Right now, local nonprofit organizations are working side by side with county emergency services to plan contingencies for helping in case of widespread quarantines or school closures.

We are ready to provide emergency grants from our Resilience Fund for food, rental assistance, and other basic needs – if needed.

We need your support to ensure that people impacted by the coronavirus are able to receive the help they need.

Our partners at the Silicon Valley Community Foundation have launched the COVID-19 Coronavirus Regional Response Fund, to support organizations representing each of the nine Bay Area counties.

You can donate to the SVCF COVID-19 Coronavirus Regional Response Fund here.

If you wish to designate your donation for Sonoma County, simply choose “Sonoma County: Community Foundation Sonoma County” on the donation page

We are also accepting donations directly to our Sonoma County Resilience Fund, if you would like to give locally.
