What a Community Foundation Does

A community foundation brings together the financial resources of families, individuals and organizations who care about a specific place and then invests those resources back into the community. At The Almanor Foundation (TAF), we serve the communities of Plumas County by providing financial support through grantmaking, support to nonprofit partners, and assistance to donors fulfilling their giving goals.

How We Work

Raising Funds and Offering Fund Services

Since 2021 TAF has served in raising over $1.4 million for community needs and programs

TAF began offering fund services in 2022, with one fund. By March of 2023 TAF had taken on the oversight of 8 funds and 3 grants. With increasing demand for services, TAF is expanding in 2024 to offer fiscal sponsorships for scholarship funds.

Granting Funds.

Granted over $1 million for disaster relief and recovery

Managing Grants.

Managing over $630,000 in grants for Dixie Long Term Recovery projects

Building Community Capacity.

As the capacity of county agencies to handle the flow of grant funds for economic and infrastructure recovery projects has declined, TAF has been able to step up as a Community Foundation to assist

The Almanor Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity, EIN# 86-2462099.
