About the Nonprofit Partnership Program (NPP)
The NPP Program was launched by the Solano Community Foundation in April of 2009. It is supported in part, by annual membership contributions from partnering organizations and individuals. It is designed to strengthen, develop and serve Solano County nonprofits by enhancing organization visibility and needs, and assist in their capacity-building efforts. NPP is a grantmaking program and promotes partnerships with and between our local nonprofits, and individual donors, service organizations, the business sector, community leaders, and funders.
Solano Community Foundation is the lead organization for Give Local Solano, a collaborative fundraising event held annually (in conjunction with #GivingTuesday) for our NPP members. To learn more about SCF’s mission, funds, or programs, visit our website at www.solanocf.org.
How to Become an NPP Member
NPP membership is open to everyone; nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, and neighborhood associations. We strongly encourage local businesses and corporations, government entities, and individual leaders, to join NPP and support the program as our community partners and advisors.
The minimum annual membership fee is $75 per calendar year. Larger amounts donated will help support NPP activities and grantmaking, or used to cover the membership fee for other members. SCF doesn't send out invoices; rather, current membes will received an email reminder in late December (and again in January) to renew their membership for the coming year.
