Grant Winners: River City Food Bank and NorCal School for the Arts

Congratulations to our two $100,000 grant winners, River City Food Bank and NorCal School of the Arts! The runners up, receiving $6,000 grants, were American River Conservancy, Sunburst Projects, and Effie Yeaw Nature Center. At our annual voting event, held on October 5, the five finalists made presentations on their transformational projects and our 2023 members voted. Each of our five finalists are so inspiring and so deserving! This was our inaugural year and it exceeded all expectations. We are beginning a new philanthropic season and we would love to have you join us in transforming lives!
