What happens when a community invests in its own?

In this episode of Turning Point, K. Patrice Williams sits down with Connie Harris, CEO of the Solano Community Foundation, to explore the power of local philanthropy and the vital role nonprofits play in strengthening communities.

Recorded on Giving Tuesday, Connie shares how Give Local Solano connects donors with local organizations, how the Foundation responded to COVID-19 and wildfire relief efforts, and why building a stronger culture of giving can help close funding gaps and create lasting impact across Solano County.

Keytakeaways:

• Give where you live: Supporting local nonprofits keeps resources closer to home and strengthens the organizations serving your community.
• Philanthropy is more than donating: Community foundations connect donors, nonprofits, training, grants, and resources to build sustainable local impact.
• Every contribution matters: Whether it's $10, $25, $100, or more, collective giving can become a powerful force for change.
