Amador Community Foundation
Amador Community Foundation is a public benefit corporation organized for charitable purposes creating an effective and transparent method for people and businesses to contribute to the strength and sustainability of grants and scholarships in Amador County through specified giving, allocated funds and philanthropy. ACF has granted back over $7million dollars since 1999. Our non-profit connects local generosity with local needs – For Good, For Ever.
Through our conservative care of donor funds, we are able to extend grants for a variety of local projects, needs and charities benefitting the entire spectrum of our community including scholarships, health and service, historical and disaster preparedness organizations. www.amadorcommunityfoundation.org

Read all about an ACF success story from our fiscal partner Amador Calaveras Breastfeeding Coalition. We are proud to support this important coalition in our community.
The Amador Calaveras Breastfeeding Coalition was created in the early 2000s to promote, protect and support breastfeeding in our community. Our members include International Board Certified Lactation Consultants, Certified Lactation Educator Counselors, WIC Peer Counselors and others in the community who are interested in the health and wellness of our breastfeeding families. We have developed the Grandmother Tea to provide support to new Grandmother’s-to-be with up-to-date information on changes in newborn care and strengthen the breastfeeding family. We have provided ACBC Lactation Letters: newsletters with current breastfeeding information for medical providers, pharmacists and childcare personnel. We have a presence in many of the community activities, such as Celebrate the Children and World Breastfeeding Week and we created a Nursing Nook at the Amador County Fairgrounds for our breastfeeding families to have a cool, quiet space to care for their children.
Early in our existence we came under the fiscal umbrella of the Amador Community Foundation, as we did not have the ability as a small coalition to administrate and oversee our finances while focusing on our work of serving the community. Our relationship with the Foundation has allowed us to obtain liability insurance for events we participate in at a reasonable cost. Additionally, the Amador Community Foundation has supported us with a grant in the past. We look forward to our continued relationship with the Foundation as we work together to provide for the health and wellness of our community.
