Who Should Apply?



This program is designed for Yolo County nonprofits that:

• Have 1–5 staff members and want to build strong internal systems.

• Are volunteer-run and confident in their ability to participate and meet program requirements.
• Are scaling rapidly and need systems to match.
• Have experienced cuts in government funding and need to adapt operations.
• 📌 Consistent participation is required. Review the program schedule before applying.
