Where Vision Becomes Reality
impactful realities
At The Almanor Foundation, we believe in turning great ideas into impactful realities. Our funds provide a streamlined way for individuals and organizations to launch community-focused projects and initiatives without the burden of administrative and operational complexities.
When you open a fund with us, you gain the freedom to focus on your vision and make meaningful change. Whether it’s a local improvement project, an initiative to benefit the community, or an innovative idea for positive change, our fundholders can bypass the time, expense, and expertise required to establish a non-profit or manage accounting and compliance.
By partnering with The Almanor Foundation, you can immediately begin fundraising and implementing your plans, leaving the administrative details to us. Together, we can make a lasting impact in our community.
How to Open a Fund With Us
Why Open a TAF Fund
If you are reading this, you most likely have an idea, a vision, or a project that you think will benefit your community. You want to make a positive change. You want to serve. And you question the best way to go about it. Opening a fund at The Almanor Foundation (TAF) will allow you to make that positive change, and your dream a reality quickly and effectively.
What you get when you open a fund at TAF
When you open a fund at TAF you are given the freedom to work the project and build your dream without the costs and administrative hours that come with it. You are put into the driver’s seat of your project without the need to hire expertise in administration and accounting. Instead, you can immediately begin to raise the money you need to do the work that you envision, and without needing to form your own non-profit organization.
How TAF works
TAF charges an administrative fee to our funds. This fee makes it possible for us to offer the financial, marketing, and procedural support and systems that funds need to thrive. All without the recurring expense of building out those resources on your own.
How to get Started
First connect with TAF staff at [email protected] or call 530-268-5422. Our staff will listen to your ideas and share the ways that we can help.
We offer a variety of funds that include scholarship funds, memorial funds, donor advised funds, endowment funds, and stewardship funds funds that allow you to donate to or raise charitable dollars to support an organization or a cause.
