WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
Established in 2012, the Common Good Community Foundation is a non-profit, public benefit corporation organized to support activities in areas related, but not limited to, the arts, education and public lectures, senior services, health care and animal welfare.
Our mission is to encourage and develop local philanthropy and serve as a conduit through which charitable funds can be distributed to meet the needs of the Plumas County community. In doing so, we want to build a legacy of support to ensure that worthwhile and valuable programs and projects continue to enrich our community for generations to come. We are both a grant maker and a vehicle for donors to accomplish their philanthropic goals. We seek to link people who care with community projects and programs that matter. We partner with donors to ensure their gifts are distributed as specified and have maximum impact within the community. We in turn work closely with grantees to ensure that all funds are expended according to grant guidelines for the benefit of the community. We handle the administrative and accounting details so donors can focus on the rewarding aspects of giving. We keep our administrative expenses to an absolute minimum and invest over 95% of all donations back into the community via funding awards to local organizations and projects. We are able to accomplish this because we are a volunteer organization and as such, we do not incur employee-related expenses. We also do not incur typical monthly expenses, such as office rent and utilities. We are therefore able to maximize the impact of all donations for the benefit of the community. |
