Inspire Giving
A little is enough, if enough people do it.
Established in 2009, Inspire Giving is a grant awarded by our Foundation to a local nonprofit annually. Individuals contribute to Inspire Giving to be able to collectively give a donation larger than they could give on their own.
Every year Inspire Giving provides a $10,000 grant to help fund a specific project for a local nonprofit.
Through our leadership team, donors, and partnerships, Inspire Giving also provides in-kind services, donations, and support depending on the project needs. In nine years, Inspire Giving has supported ten nonprofits through $105,000 in grants and over $1,000,000 in in-kind support and services.
The Inspire Giving grant selection process is unique. Each year, all Founding and Legacy Members, along with individuals who have donated a minimum of $25 to Inspire Giving during the previous calendar year collaboratively select, via a voting process, how the endowment’s income will be distributed to a charitable organization within the Sacramento region.
