I am so proud to be a member of this community.

Donor Profile Joan established the Bernd Crasemann and Joan MachlisCrasemann Civil Fund after the passing of her husband, Bernd, in 2018. She has lived in Davis and West Sacramento in Yolo County.

Joan Machlis-Crasemann

What led you to create a donor advised fund at the Yolo Community Foundation?

I’ve always given to national and international nonprofits that match my personal values such as civil rights, disasters, the environment, media and women’s issues. And, at the same time, I want to contribute where I live to better lives here. The Yolo Community Foundation provides me the support, networking and expertise to identify groups that fit my interests.

It is only the right thing to share.

— Joan

Donor, from Page 10 and have lived in many communities, What motivates you to be philanthropic?

I’ve been blessed with much through no particular reason beyond luck. I happened to be born in a privileged race and received parental supervision and a good education.

I was in the job market when jobs were plentiful. It is only the right thing to share.

How do you participate in Big Day of Giving?

Because I’m a bit of a rolling stone

I tend to focus on immediate needs.

If I stayed put more I might want to establish long-term relationships with a few organizations.

Why do you feel it’s important to support local nonprofits on Big Day of Giving?

BDOG has proven to be effective in focusing and mobilizing a lot of charitable giving for the community.

The excitement, publicity and showcasing of our nonprofit community around that day works well. I like to be part of that.

Letter, from Page 9 throughout the greater capital At the same time, some nonprofits that are not primarily focused on responding to the crisis are nearing the point of collapse. This is particularly so for organizations that rely on earned revenue, like ticket sales and class tuition, that has dwindled dramatically, as well as those with high fixed costs, like rent on a big venue; arts and culture organizations are especially hard hit. These beloved nonprofits need donations to ensure they are still around to reopen.

But YOU can help! Individual giving has remained strong, evidence that our community cares and is ready to help. This directory features the 98 Yolo-based nonprofits that are participating in Big Day of Giving on May 6, 2021. We hope it will be a resource to you as you donate this Big Day of Giving, as well as throughout the year to come. Big Day of Giving is organized by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation as part of its initiative to inspire philanthropy

area. We at the Yolo Community Foundation hope to raise awareness of Big Day of Giving among Yolo donors, to support all of the local nonprofits that participate.

Giving on Big Day of Giving is easy! Go to www.bigdayofgiving.org any time on May 6. You can filter the participating organizations by county to see Yolo organizations, as well as by cause, size, etc. You can even give early today, and we’re hosting a #GiveYolo Video Contest for a chance to win an extra $500 for your favorite Yolobased organization.

On Big Day of Giving 2020, Yolo nonprofits raised 50 percent more than they did in 2019 – a true testament to our community’s generosity and its understanding of our nonprofits’ tremendous impact.

On Big Day of Giving 2021 and beyond, let’s continue to support the impactful nonprofits that serve our Yolo community.

Thank you,
