About Sacramento Foundation
Sacramento Foundation’s recent grantmaking is marked by repeated support for United Way CA Capital Region, including a 2025 grant of $568,177 for anniversary and staffing and a 2024 grant of $578,823 for the Square One project and staffing. That continuity points to a funder that uses sizable awards to support core organizational work, not only short-term program expenses. The foundation also operates with a local Sacramento-region scope and a community foundation structure, with grant opportunities that reach nonprofits across education, arts, health, food security, and other community needs. Its vision emphasizes a thriving and resilient region, and its listed programs extend beyond open grants to capacity building and leadership development. Recent registry opportunities include support for young performing artists, senior and family services, nonprofit partnerships, and the Cultivate program for nonprofit leaders of color. The foundation’s grantmaking pattern suggests close attention to organizational stability, regional collaboration, and targeted initiatives that strengthen Sacramento-area nonprofits while funding direct service work in the community.
What Sacramento Foundation Funds
Health, food, education, arts, and nonprofit strengthening all appear in Sacramento Foundation’s current funding menu. In education and youth-serving work, the foundation lists open grant opportunities through its nonprofit grants page, and the Dennis Mangers Fund for Young Performing Artists supports young performing artists in the Sacramento region. For food access and basic needs, Raley’s Food for Families is an invitation-only opportunity, while its grant registry also includes senior and family services funding. Capacity building is another clear thread: the foundation’s Capacity Building Programs are aimed at strengthening the nonprofit sector in the Sacramento region, El Dorado County, and Placer County. It also lists the Sacramento Countywide Nonprofit Partnership Initiative and Cultivate, a program for nonprofit leaders of color focused on leadership and racial equity.
