History
With an anonymous startup gift of $100,000,
a group of philanthropically-minded Yolo County citizens founded Yolo Community
Foundation to ensure a permanent source of funds to enrich the quality of life
of the people of Yolo County. The IRS granted 501(c)(3) status in November 2002
and the first public activites began in 2003.
