SONOMA VALLEY FUND

"It became clear to me that we had to do something more as a community, that we were going to be on our own," Fulton adds. "We spent the summer trying to figure out what the need would be and how we could meet it better. SVF wasn't set up to move as quickly as we needed to move, so we decided to do an experiment and create a fund at the Community Foundation that would be able to move very quickly. It came to be called the Sonoma Valley Catalyst Fund."
