Minimum Education and ExperienceAbout Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Community Foundation
Humboldt Area Foundation + Wild Rivers Community Foundation (HAF+WRCF) serve the residents of Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties in California, and Curry County in Oregon, including the unceded lands of many Indigenous peoples and 18 Indigenous Tribal Groups. We acknowledge and recognize these Peoples and the federally and non-federally recognized nations that represent them. The Northern California and Southern Oregon region is made up of 200,000 residents in over 10,000 square miles of land and while culturally and environmentally rich, this region continues to be economically disadvantaged. Founded in 1972, HAF+WRCF strives to play a unique role, encouraging individuals, organizations, and companies to fund important community activities in support of common goals.
In 2020, HAF+WRCF adopted a generational vision of a Thriving, Just, Healthy, and Equitable Region. This vision is implemented through four decade-long goals of increasing Racial Equity, Thriving Youth and Families, Healthy Ecosystems and Environments, and a Just Economy. Supporting vulnerable communities is at the heart and action of HAF+WRCF, and for over two decades HAF+WRCF has intentionally focused resources toward historically underserved populations, unheard voices, and those who experience the highest rates of disparities.
HAF+WRCF implements a holistic toolkit of services to ensure we are supporting community needs. This includes services such as philanthropic advisory and charitable giving services, grantmaking, scholarships, and local loans and investments. The Foundation also deploys strategic programmatic tools such as capacity building and technical assistance, advocacy and policy work, networking and convening, leveraging fundings resources and partnerships, and managing programs and initiatives.
