What Community Foundation of Nevada County does
Mission
The Community Foundation of Nevada County supports nonprofit capacity building, provides leadership in the area of disaster resilience, and provides philanthropic advisory services to help create and promote efforts among our community to maintain and improve the quality of life in Western Nevada County.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Community Foundation of Nevada County (COFONC) advanced its charitable mission to connect people, resources, and ideas to build a healthy and vibrant Nevada County. The Foundation established core infrastructure for a permanent community foundation, including policies, accounting systems, and public communications; received and administered donor and agency funds; and provided fiscal sponsorship and technical assistance to emerging community projects. COFONC strengthened the nonprofit sector by integrating the Center for Nonprofit Leadership of the Sierra, offering workshops, coaching, and peer learning for local nonprofit leaders. The Foundation also led regional disaster readiness efforts through participation in the statewide Disaster Readiness Initiative, development of a Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) network, and continued stewardship of the Nevada County Relief Fund.Through these efforts, COFONC helped attract and manage charitable resources for community benefit, hosted public forums and Discovery Salon events engaging over one hundred residents and nonprofit leaders, and laid the groundwork for long-term local philanthropy and resilience.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $165k to $622k (+277%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
4 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF NEVADA COUNTY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF NEVADA COUNTY.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF NEVADA COUNTY's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $193k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
