A New Model for Mobilizing Community Resources
The call to action
A different business model
The results so far
1
The future of California is being written in the hinterlands
– Big demographic changes– Big challenges
But there is little organized philanthropic capital in rural CA
– Per capita foundation grants, San Francisco: $678– Per capita foundation grants, Napa County: $75
The Community Foundation exists to address this gap– Pooling dollars from individual donors– Focusing resources on critical problems

Community Impact Funds, 2010
Standard Model:Donor Advised Funds
Napa Valley Model: Community Impact Funds
• Loose confederation of do-it-yourselfers
• Staff role is administration
• Coordination is ad-hoc, opportunistic
• Reaction time is slow
• Donors get administrative leverage
• Operating costs > revenues
• Voluntary union of engaged donors
• Staff role is leadership
• Coordination is systematic and planned
• Reaction time is fast
• Donors get administrative and grantmaking leverage
• Revenues > operating costs
What’s the big idea?
