We Fund Equipment, Repairs, and Community Enhancements
Not ideas. Tools the community can put to use.
We fund organizations across Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties.
If your organization or project is based in or directly serves people here, we want to hear from you.
Four focus areas guide every grant we award across the region.
From hospitals to fire departments, we fund the tangible projects that help trusted local organizations keep doing their work well.
Healthcare
We support hospitals, clinics, hospice programs, and blood banks with medical equipment, patient transport vehicles, and facility upgrades that keep care running.
