You Give > We Give: Strengthening Tuolumne County Together

Local nonprofits are the backbone of Tuolumne County—providing critical services, supporting families, and enriching our community. But they rely heavily on donations to do this work.

This year brings a new opportunity:
Even if you don’t itemize your taxes, you may now deduct up to $1,000 ($2,000 for couples) for charitable giving.

That means more people than ever can participate in supporting the causes they care about.

Introducing: “You Give > We Give”

To help turn this moment into meaningful impact, Sonora Area Foundation is launching a $100,000 matching campaign.

Here’s how it works:

  • Donate to a Tuolumne County 501(c)(3) nonprofit
  • We match your gift dollar-for-dollar
  • Up to $1,000 per individual / $2,000 per couple
  • Up to $10,000 match per nonprofit
  • No fees—100% of your donation goes directly to the nonprofit you choose
  • Campaign runs until the full $100,000 match is reached

Why It Matters

This is a chance to:

  • Support local organizations doing essential work
  • Engage new donors in our community
  • Double the impact of every dollar given
