The West Sacramento Foundation Grant is dedicated to strengthening our community by supporting local nonprofit organizations that make a direct impact on the lives of West Sacramento residents. Through annual grant making, the fund invests in projects that build connections, enrich quality of life, and address the needs of our diverse community. Since its founding in 1988, the West Sacramento Foundation has provided hundreds of small grants to local nonprofits, helped launch and sustain community programs that might otherwise lack support, and fostered collaboration across organizations to maximize impact. These smaller grants range from $500-$2,000 and make a powerful difference by fueling projects that connect neighbors, lift up youth, celebrate culture, and strengthen our shared community.
