Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To be the vehicle for philanthropic giving in Amador County. We respect our community, listen for needs, act courageously, honor donor intent and maintain Foundation integrity.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Be involved in community assessments, listen to the needs of our nonprofits. We need to be the experts in our community of the emerging and ongoing needs. We then will partner with donors to meet these needs.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have grown from $1 million to $5 million in the last 5 years. It is letting our community know what we do and how we can partner in making our community a better place today and for generations to come.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We invest significant time and energy in strengthening our nonprofits. We introduced Giving Tuesday 2 years ago. Last year we generated over $100,000 in gifts for 26 nonprofits. Every nonprofit involved had new donors give to their charity.
