A limited-time $100,000 match means every dollar you give goes twice as far to protect the rivers we all depend on.
Right now, something powerful is happening across Tuolumne County.
Through a new initiative from the Sonora Area Foundation, every donation made to local nonprofits is being matched dollar for dollar—up to $100,000 total.
That means your gift to Yosemite Rivers Alliance can go twice as far to protect the rivers, forests, and communities we all depend on.
No gimmicks. No fine print.
Just real impact—multiplied.
How the Match Works
Here’s how you can double your impact:
Give any amount to Yosemite Rivers Alliance

From the Sierra to the Central Valley, our rivers connect us all.
They provide:
Clean drinking water for millions
Habitat for wildlife
Lifelines for farms and communities
Places to gather, restore, and reconnect
But right now, that system is under pressure—from climate change, wildfire, and shrinking public investment.
At the same time, local communities and organizations are stepping up to meet the moment.
This matching fund is designed to do one thing:
Help our community meet this moment—together.
Tuolumne County has always been a place where people show up for each other.
This is one of those moments.
Because when you give, we give.
And our whole community benefits.
