Grants News

In February, our inaugural Encore Grant recipient, Sonoma Immigrant Services, received a check to match its 2024 Impetus Grant of $25,000. In April, we'll choose our 2025 Encore Grant recipient, who will receive a second consecutive year of the same requested funding in early 2026.

On April 5, we'll hear proposals from our 2025 grant finalists and open the voting! Watch this space for finalist summaries and voting instructions.
