Focus on Action and Impact

The Sutter Yuba Community Foundation (SYCF) is a public charitable non-profit driven by a singular mission: to support the health and well-being of our local communities.

With more than 140,000 residents calling the Sutter and Yuba region home, we recognize that the needs of our most vulnerable populations can often overwhelm available resources. That is where we step in. SYCF serves as a vital bridge, enhancing the capacity of community-based programs and maximizing their impact where it matters most.

Whether it’s supporting local youth, uplifting the arts, or providing a safety net for those in need, we believe in the power of community united by a common goal. Together, we are creating lasting opportunities for everyone who lives here.

Our Philosophy

To be open, accountable, and ethical in all we do.

To partner strategically across a wide mandate.

To enable and promote charitable giving.
To respond responsibly and proactively to our community’s evolving needs.

100% Volunteer-Led Leadership

As board members of the Sutter Yuba Community Foundation, we are driven to lead this organization with integrity, a heart for service, and commitment to the communities we serve.

Unlike larger foundations, SYCF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with zero paid staff. We are guided entirely by an all-volunteer Board of Directors who live and work right here in Yuba-Sutter. Because we have no overhead salaries, every penny of your gift translates directly into community grants and student scholarships.
