Celebrating Community Giving Program Recipients and Announcing the 2023-24 Funding Application Cycle
As the President and CEO of Blue Diamond, I am thrilled to share the remarkable impact that the recipients of our 2022-2023 Community Giving Program have made in our communities. At Blue Diamond, we strongly believe in our commitment to act with integrity, work as partners, deliver quality every day, innovate, and play to win. Our Community Giving Program and Good Neighbor Policy reflect these core values and allow us to build meaningful relationships with organizations in Sacramento, Salida, and Turlock.
Supporting Agricultural Education and Health & Wellness/Food Security
One of the primary objectives of our Community Giving Program is to advance agricultural education and improve the health, wellness, and food security of children and families. We understand the importance of investing in the development of our communities, and we believe that by supporting these critical areas, we can make a lasting impact.
Small Grant Requests
Blue Diamond’s commitment to these causes is exemplified by our provision of funding for small grant requests. Nonprofit organizations that align with our two pillars of the Community Giving Program—Agricultural Education and Health & Wellness/Food Security—are eligible to apply for grants ranging from $500 to $15,000. These grants empower organizations to make a difference in our communities and bring about positive change.
