Testimonials - Community Initiatives

“We came to Community Initiatives from another, less experienced fiscal sponsor. It became clear just how much we had been missing with our previous fiscal sponsor — the experience with small and large projects, their availability and responsiveness, and the clear passion for the essential work we do in our communities.”

– Breakthrough Sacramento

“The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inequalities that impact vulnerable communities across the world. Our work has become more critical because our community is turning to us to read timely content on community resources available…. We are so grateful to have Community Initiatives as our Fiscal Sponsor because you really took care of us and took the initiatives to apply for this funding for all of us.”

– South Kern Sol

“The vision demonstrated by Community Initiatives to pursue the PPP loan and distributed to the projects reflects a truly transformative form of leadership. I would highly encourage Community Initiatives to leverage its position and resources to pursue other opportunities for funding opportunities!”

– Genesis Healing Institute

“Handling PPP was a life saver and Community Initiatives is very responsive to questions and concerns.”

– SF Hep B Free

“Community Initiatives lets us focus on our mission, and takes care of the work that our staff have no expertise in. My relationships with the direct contacts I have at Community Initiatives are all good, friendly, and professional, and this has really made a difference the last few months during all of the craziness of COVID-19. Without clear, consistent and thorough support we would not have fared nearly as well.”

– Mission Science Workshop

“Community Initiatives’ leadership and staff are some of the finest individuals we have ever worked with. They’re positive, friendly, customer-service oriented, and approachable. Senior leadership is thoughtful and thorough, and they’ve inspired confidence during these tough times. The diversity of the staff is an obvious strength of the organization, as well.”

– The Fund for People in the Parks

“Pre-Health Dreamers is very grateful to have the support of Community Initiatives. As a fairly new project, Community Initiatives has really helped our team through the many questions that help us stay in compliance with 501(c)3 rules. The entire team has been very helpful in answering questions and processing documents in a timely manner. Community Initiatives has continuously been very attentive and detail oriented!”

– Pre-health Dreamers
