Mission

Since 1964, the national award-winning CVNL has advanced nonprofits and volunteerism by strengthening leadership, encouraging innovation and empowering individuals in service to their communities.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Since 1964, Center for Volunteer & Nonprofit Leadership ("CVNL") has advanced nonprofits and volunteerism throughout the North Bay by strengthening leadership, encouraging innovation, and empowering individuals in the community. CVNL knows that passion alone isn't enough when it comes to creating strong nonprofits. That's why CVNL works with leaders and volunteers every day to help them build the skills and connections that can take their impact to the next level. When they are confident and prepared, nonprofits and volunteers will be better equipped to create healthy, happy, more equitable communities. CVNL has offices in Marin, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties.

  • Sonoma County Paratransit:This program operates Sonoma County's paratransit service, providing rides to people with a disability or a health condition that prevents them from using Sonoma County's regular bus services. Staff and volunteers drove 51,344 passengers over 577,400 miles to doctor's visits, critical appointments, and work sites in 2025. Volunteer Wheels provides elderly and disabled residents and visitors in Sonoma County with the opportunity to live with a degree of independence they could not otherwise achieve. Volunteer Wheels is funded through our service contract with Sonoma County Transit and community contributions.

    Expenses $3,055,829

  • Volunteer Services:Through CVNL's VolunteerNow.org matching portal, 644 volunteers were matched with causes aligned with their interests and skills. Additional volunteer engagement occurred through the following key programs:" Secret Santa Program: 699 volunteers supported holiday giving efforts for community members in need." Court Referral Program: 2,708 individuals completed court-mandated community service assignments." Paratransit Services: 2 volunteers supported transportation assistance services.Beyond volunteer matching, CVNL worked directly with nonprofit and government partners to promote disaster readiness and community preparedness. In 2025, CVNL delivered trainings and presentations focused on Emergency Go Bag Kits, emergency preparedness, and disaster volunteerism. These efforts reached students at Roseland University Prep in Sonoma County, international students at Dominican University in Marin County, and community members in Napa County.CVNL also remained an active participant in regional disaster coordination efforts, maintaining membership in the Solano and Marin County Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) and the Napa and Sonoma County Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COADs). In Sonoma County, CVNL expanded its leadership role by joining the COAD Operations Team.A key highlight of the year was the coordination of the first Emergency Preparedness Fair in Suisun City, California, in partnership with the Solano VOAD and the Suisun City Fire Department. More than 100 residents attended and received emergency preparedness education, resources, and emergency go bags.Through these programs and partnerships, CVNL strengthened community engagement and preparedness across four counties in 2025. Our work advanced volunteerism, built nonprofit capacity, and supported coordinated disaster readiness efforts throughout the region.

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.

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.
