Mission

The Sacramento Region Community Foundation leads, serves, and inspires enduring philanthropy for a just and vibrant Sacramento region.

  • Donor Advised and Unrestricted Grantmaking: Since the Sacramento Region Community Foundation was founded in 1983 by local leaders, we have been a primary provider of philanthropic services. Like other place-based community foundations across the United States and around the world, the Foundation promotes philanthropy that is visionary, strategic, and inclusive, making it a catalyst for transforming the region. The Foundation manages hundreds of charitable funds for local families, businesses, and nonprofits. Thanks to the generosity of its donors who are pivotal partners in its work to transform and enrich California's capital region, the Foundations annual grant awards to nonprofit organizations from its charitable funds have grown from over $272,000 in 1983 to over $13 million in 2024.(Continued on Schedule O)

    Expenses $18,248,766 · Grants $15,268,661 · Revenue $20,837,588

  • Expanding Philanthropy and the Social Economy: This Strategic Initiative leads to a more generous region by promoting individual philanthropy through such activities as Big Day of Giving and the GivingEdge regional nonprofit database, creating stronger nonprofits through leadership development, donor stewardship and fundraising, and advancing collaboration among nonprofit organizations. For example, Big Day of Giving, the annual giving day that has generated more than $100 million from generous donors for hundreds of local nonprofits since its inception in 2013, is a yearlong, communitywide movement to make philanthropy accessible to everyone in the capital region. In 2024, the Foundation provided robust training and collaboration opportunities to over 800 participating nonprofits.(Continued on Schedule O)

    Expenses $9,766,016 · Grants $9,303,776 · Revenue $8,885,138

  • The Foundation manages over 50 scholarship funds, which were established by local individuals, families, businesses, and organizations. Our scholarships provide tuition assistance and recognition to local students as they strive to achieve a wide range of goals through the pursuit of higher education.Each scholarship fund has its own unique criteria for selecting recipients, including academic achievement, financial need, educational and career goals, and community involvement. Annual scholarship awards range from $500 to $10,000 and may be used for accredited academic and vocational training programs. In 2024, the Foundation awarded over $1 million to more than 400 students.

    Expenses $1,714,615 · Grants $553,355 · Revenue $969,687

  • Leadership Statement: Together with our fundholders, the Foundation is proud to elevate philanthropy and its impact in our region. For over 40 years, the Foundation has helped our collective giving make the greatest positive impact throughout the four counties we serve: El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo. We do this by focusing on the underlying causes of local challenges, seeking solutions with lasting results, and supporting the organizations that tend to the vital needs of the capital area -- after all, creating the conditions for meaningful transformation is our specialty at the Foundation. With your support, the Foundation is proud to elevate philanthropy and its impact in our region. If you believe as we do that working together to forge upstream solutions is the best way to strengthen our region, join our work and learn more at www.sacregcf.org.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
