Community Memorial Fund Giving Program

This fund was established to give anyone the opportunity to memorialize a loved one, a colleague, a client, or a friend-–a gift that will make a difference in our community. 

 

You can make a tax-deductible donation in their memory to the Community Memorial Fund Giving Program at the Solano Community Foundation in any amount, at any time. Every penny of your contribution will result in grants to programs throughout the county that assist our needy neighbors and enrich our community’s quality of life. 

 

Each March, funds collected during the year will be awarded as grants to qualified nonprofit organizations in Solano County. These grants will be specifically designated as gifts from the Community Memorial Fund Giving Program.

For the 2008 year, SCF's Community Memorial Fund Giving Program awarded its first grant to Meals on Wheels, a local nonprofit committed to providing and delivering meals to seniors. MOW received a $1,000 grant to create a Web site that will direct traffic to their services.  

 

"We are delighted that Meals on Wheels was selected for the inaugural grant from the Community Memorial Fund Giving Program. They are an important institution in Solano County, providing needed services to a vulnerable population," said Stephanie Wolf, President and CEO of SCF. To read the press release, click here.
