Two Decades of Community Impact
In 2024, Healdsburg Forever proudly marked 20 years as a community endowment meeting charitable giving needs in Healdsburg and surrounding areas, including Geyserville, the Alexander Valley, and parts of the Russian River Valley.

Legacy Built on Community
Healdsburg Forever is an endowed, community-advised fund affiliated with Community Foundation Sonoma County. Think of it as a “charity’s charity.” It takes a hands-on approach — connecting with local leaders, nonprofits, and neighbors to understand where support is needed most. Every dollar is guided by insight from the community, ensuring lasting, meaningful impact.

The volunteer working board leads the fund’s governance, strategy, and outreach. Board members serve on three standing committees, working alongside more than 20 engaged community members to align resources with real, on-the-ground needs.

Endowment = Forever
Over the past two decades, Healdsburg Forever has granted over $3.2 million to local nonprofit organizations while growing its endowment to $2.1 million. The endowment ensures that Healdsburg Forever is truly forever.

In 2025, thanks to community support, Healdsburg Forever provided grants to 10 local organizations, including:

• Good Food for Everyone
  Farm to Fight Hunger, Healdsburg Shared Food Pantry, and Redwood Empire Food Bank.

• Community, Family, Generosity, Diversity
  Alliance Medical Center / Clínica Alianza, Corazón Healdsburg, and La Familia Sana.

• Welcoming Warmth, Shelter
  Reach for Home and UndocuFund.

• Helping Hands and Hearts
  Healdsburg Education Foundation and Geyserville Educational Foundation.
