THE PLUMAS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND THE COMMON GOOD COMMUNITY FOUNDATION MERGE
Benefiting the people and organizations of Plumas County, CA, has been a shared goal of both the Plumas Community Foundation and The Common Good Community Foundation.
Formed in 1999, the Plumas Community Foundation has provided numerous scholarships to local students and provided grants to local organizations. The foundation has also served as the umbrella agency for the Eastern Plumas Recreation/Ski Johnsville Fund, among other community activities.
Organized in 2012, The Common Good Community Foundation has provided financial support to local organizations including the Plumas County Museum, the Community Assistance Network, The Mohawk Community Resource Center, PAWS, hospice programs, scholarship funds and local art galleries among others.
Given their shared goals and mutual interest in benefiting Plumas County, CA, the board of directors of the Plumas Community Foundation and The Common Good Community Foundation voted to merge into one organization effective July 1, 2013. The combined organizations will henceforth be known at The Common Good Community Foundation.
By combining their efforts and assets, both foundations believe they will be better able to serve and enrich the Plumas County community and local organizations in need of financial assistance.
