What are Sonoma County's 100 largest nonprofit organizations?

They serve people with disabilities and children from low-income families. They care for our aging neighbors and the region’s unhoused community. They leverage their networks to feed those who are hungry, treat those who are sick and even represent animals in court. Sonoma County’s top 100 nonprofits combined to raise $1.2 billion in their most recent filing years, demonstrating a continued local commitment to service that has endured the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as months of economic upheaval. Through publicly available financial data, we took a look at how these nonprofit agencies stack up, and are sharing this data with you.

The following data was obtained through research using ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and Guidestar, as well as publicly available information on the California Secretary of State website. The Press Democrat used most recent annual revenue for this ranking, and excluded credit unions, tourism and membership organizations, homeowners associations and other mutual benefit nonprofits in an effort to more accurately portray the traditional nonprofit landscape in Sonoma County.
