Philanthropy Day 2021 — Yolo Community Foundation — Page 3
Dear Yolo Community,
W
e are approaching the end of 2021, a year that has brought so many challenges to our community. At the same time, 2021 has brought great hope in the form of the Yolo nonprofit sector, which has supported our neighbors in need, and the many donors and volunteers that made their work possible. This Yolo County Nonprofit Directory is an effort to support our local nonprofits by highlighting the important role philanthropy plays in our community. Firstly, we hope this directory is a resource to you as you plan your year-end donations. Year-end giving campaigns are a key element of most nonprofits’ annual revenues; some research suggests that nearly one-third of annual giving happens in December alone. This directory includes information about more than 100 Yolo nonprofits. Please give generously to support them! Secondly, we’re thrilled to share the 2021 Yolo National Philanthropy Day honorees. These donors and volunteers were selected by 30+ local nonprofits because they made a significant difference for those organizations this year. To learn more about the honorees and the National Philanthropy Day event, generously sponsored by Nugget Markets, go to www.yolocf.org. Finally, we’d like to share highlights from our recent Yolo Donor Survey. (For full survey results and its methodology, go to www.yolocf.org or point your smartphone camera at the barcode below.) In an October survey of 184 Yolo residents, we found: • In 2021, local giving remains substantially higher than pre-pandemic levels. 50% of respondents indicated that, by year-end 2021, their annual giving will exceed their 2019 giving. 33% said their 2021 giving would be the same as 2019, and just 17% said 2021 giving will be less than 2019. • By far the most common reason donors gave for increasing giving was the increased need they saw in the community; 52% of respondents cited this motivation. • Donors expect to give at least as much in 2022 as they gave in 2021; 54% expect to give about the same amount in 2022 as they gave this year, while 28% expect to give more and just 4% expect to give less. (14% aren’t sure yet.) • The most common reason donors gave for increasing giving in 2022 is that their income or assets have increased or are expected to increase (24% of respondents); this may reflect confidence in the stock market. • Respondents expected to increase their contributions to a number of causes in 2022. In particular, respondents anticipate giving more to Civil Rights, Social Action, and Advocacy (24% of respondents), Housing & Shelter (23%), Mental Health (23%), Community Improvement (22%), Environment (22%), and Youth Development (21%). We are so proud to live in a community that has given so generously to address the impacts of the pandemic. At the same time, we continue to see significant levels of local need. We hope you will join your neighbors in supporting Yolo County nonprofits during this season of giving, so that they can continue to serve our community. Thank you,
Jessica Hubbard
