Who We Are

Strategic Vision

We have a generational vision of a Thriving, Just, Healthy, and Equitable Region. This vision is implemented through four decade-long goals of increasing Racial Equity, Thriving Youth and Families, Healthy Ecosystems and Environments, and a Just Economy. Supporting vulnerable communities is at the heart and action of what we do and for over two decades we have intentionally focused resources toward historically underserved populations, unheard voices, and those who experience the highest rates of disparities.

Counties we Serve

Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Community Foundation (HAF+WRCF) serve the residents of Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties in California, and Curry County in Oregon, including the region’s 27 Tribal Nations and historically Indigenous territories. Our rural, predominantly economically disadvantaged region serves 200,000 residents in over 10,000 square miles of land.
