ABOUT US

The Community Wish Foundation (CWF) supports Butte, Glenn, Tehama, and Colusa counties, giving grants or "wishes" throughout the year in the following areas: Education, Youth, Seniors, Environment, and the Community. Scholarships are also awarded every August through the Medical Training Scholarship Program to students residing in Glenn County.

To further the impact of an award that is given through all of the programs, the Community Wish Foundation is based on a pay-it-forward concept, requesting that the recipient of a grant or scholarship does something to "pay it forward." For example, if the local high school band was given a grant to purchase needed instruments, they might have agreed as a condition of their grant to play a mini-concert for the senior center, go to a local school to play for a student assembly, or maybe tackle a major clean up project that desperately needed attention in the community. Depending on the agreed-upon pay-it-forward commitment, it might mean a lengthy time involvement or could be as simple as a one time event.
