A Note on Names
When referencing the grant, please use our full name on first reference: Sacramento Region Community Foundation.

Sample sentences include:

✅ This effort is supported by [Fund Name] of the Sacramento Region Community Foundation.
Grants from charitable funds at the Yolo Community Foundation should reference “Yolo Community Foundation, stewarded by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation.”
The majority of the grants we disburse are directed by donors who have established charitable funds with us to facilitate their charitable giving. These charitable funds enable people, families, and businesses to take advantage of our back office, research and due diligence services. The donors then recommend grants to nonprofits from their charitable funds, and we distribute the grants according to our policies.
We encourage you to thank representatives behind the grant by sending a letter addressed to the fund named in your award letter to our office.
[Fund name, if not anonymous]
Sacramento Region Community Foundation
955 University Avenue, Suite A
Sacramento, CA 95825
Please do not include a tax acknowledgement as the donor received one when they contributed to the charitable fund.
The Sacramento Region Community Foundation is only able to provide contact information at the request of the donor. The donor’s contact information will be included in the grant award letter if the donor has requested it to be shared.
We occasionally use a vendor called Ramp to disburse grants via ACH (direct deposit) or mailed checks. When we do, in addition to receiving a grant letter from the Sacramento Region Community Foundation with the details of the award, Ramp will email your designated contact to notify them that payment has been issued, referencing “Sacramento Region Comm. Foundation” and the same grant number mentioned in the grant letter. Please contact our Grants Associate, Rosita Patterson, at rosita@sacregcf.org with any questions.
