Mendocino County nonprofits receive more than $701,000 in grants

Eighty-one nonprofits serving Mendocino County are receiving a combined $701,734.95 through the Community Foundation’s latest Field-of-Interest grants.

Announced November 6th, the awards support work ranging from children’s programs and animal welfare to disaster readiness, the environment, arts and community health.

The foundation says applications reached a record high this cycle. Additional contributions from donor-advised funds helped expand support, while the Four Baskets initiative added funding for projects focused on Native communities.

Forty-two charitable funds established by donors finance the program. This year, 24 volunteer reviewers helped evaluate proposals and guide award decisions.

The foundation has published the recipients and award amounts so residents can see which organizations and projects received support. Amounts vary with project needs and the money available in individual funds.

These are announced awards for the 2026–2027 cycle, rather than an invitation to apply for the funding already distributed.
