Welcome to the Yolo Community Foundation

Founded in 2001 by a group of community-minded individuals throughout Yolo County, Yolo Community Foundation (YCF) promotes philanthropy by serving as a public foundation through which: 1) community members pursue their own charitable goals; 2) local nonprofits benefit from YCF programs and events; and 3) youth learn the meaning of community involvement and service. As a community foundation, we lead the campaign to create a county-wide culture of service and giving.

Rediscover the core values that make up the cultural fabric of this community: imagination, collaboration, generosity, and a willingness to invest in the future of Yolo County.
