A Legacy of Local Generosity

Founded in 2007, the Sutter Yuba Community Foundation (SYCF) stands as a beacon of local hope. We are a public charitable non-profit 501(c)(3) organization uniquely led by an all-volunteer Board of Directors.

Unlike larger foundations, we have no paid staff and no overhead salaries. This means when you give to SYCF, your gift translates directly into scholarships for our students and grants for the non-profits that keep Yuba and Sutter counties thriving.

Why Your Gift Stays local
