We believe that whole county, systemic, transformation is possible through strategic philanthropy. Merced, as a rural county, provides philanthropists an opportunity to impact deep, lasting, community transformation with fewer dollars.

CFMC honors its role as a philanthropic steward and is leveraging new partnerships to launch capacity-building and technical assistance initiatives. We have a vision of learning from—and working directly with—entire communities in Merced County to develop new ideas that catalyze change and can be replicated countywide.

Committed to the vitality and well-being of everyone in Merced County, our goal is to promote equal access to opportunities, power, and resources for everyone—especially communities of color and other under-resourced communities.
