Supported by a gift from the Borina Foundation, we're part of a nationwide network of community foundations and libraries helping nonprofits and grantseekers, and a Funding Information Network partner of the Foundation Center.
We offer free self-guided access to:
Recent compensation surveys for the nonprofit sector
Nonprofit management, philanthropy, and board development publications
The Foundation Center’s core collection of grant guides and research reports on trends and patterns of giving by U.S. grantmakers, plus our own library with hundreds of popular titles. For a limited time, the Foundation Directory Online is being made available to nonprofits to access from their office or home, rather than just onsite at the Community Foundation. Access the directory here.
Looking for help finding a consultant for your nonprofit organization? Our consultant directory is a shared service we offer in concert with our peer community foundations in Monterey and San Benito counties. Listings are posted by consultants – not vetted by Community Foundation Santa Cruz County.
DataShare SCC is the new interactive data platform with local, state, and national data that allows you to explore and understand information about the Santa Cruz County community. Loaded with tons of data, and with easy-to-use report and dashboard building tools, DataShare SCC offers you access to hundreds of data points to deepen and inform your knowledge of many aspects of life in our county. Please use the platform for your advocacy efforts, grant application, program planning, presentation preparation, or any other way it is useful.
We love telling the stories of the hard-working nonprofits that we work with. Contact Kevin Heuer, Director of Engagement & Impact, to help spread the word about your latest accomplishments.
