We increase charitable giving by educating and connecting donors to community needs they care about, with a view toward finding solutions to help make Kern County a better place to live, to work and to visit. Our two main initiatives are Nonprofit Strengthening and Educational Attainment. We help nonprofits increase their visibility, capacity and sustainability through collaboration, networking, training, grantmaking, online resources, philanthropic response during crises, and more.
