Foundation focus

Community dialogue, scholarship, and charitable support

GCF sponsors business, educational, and social events where invited members of the public, government officials, educators, and others may gather to discuss public policy and humanitarian issues.

The foundation also participates in funding community activities that encourage those conversations in the Sacramento region and beyond.
