Sunrise Plan for Community Empowerment
The Foundation is sunsetting and in 2023, the Foundation launched its sunset strategy called the Sunrise Plan. The Sunrise Plan is designed to dawn a new era of philanthropy primed to address the current and future needs of the Central Valley's multilingual and multiracial communities through leadership empowerment and support for local, nonprofit journalism. Embracing trust-based philanthropic values, the Foundation is committed to offering flexible opportunities through multi-year grants, forming deep relationships with these communities and learning from the people closest to their communities.The Foundation will focus on achieving three main goals by 2030:1. Multilingual education infrastructures that advocate for the youngest multilingual learners and their families as assets, empowering these learnersto become engaged decision-makers in their schools and communities.2. Community-powered local journalism where the Central Valleys multiracial andmultilingual residents are informed by and engaged in a diverse, vibrant free press that reflects local voices and activates equitable civic engagement3. Inclusive leadership for the next generation of diverse stakeholders as civic leaders and decision-makers in their community, visibly fueling local democracy, local news coverage, and forging the future of the region.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2022 – Jun 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$7MProgram 1 [2024]
The James B. McClatchy Foundation's Board has regularly assessed California's Central Valley's landscape and needs over the decadesto determine how best to help its communities. In 2016, it recognized that the needs of the Central Valley's unique populationswere only increasingto the point that a much greater long-term investment would be needed than what the Foundationcould supply.The Board developed a spend down strategy (the Sunrise Plan) geared toward building a strong, self-sustaining infrastructurethat would generate and support new and current initiatives. The strategys planning accelerated in 2019 and has now developedinto a blueprint for the future. The timeline for this strategy is to spend down JBMFs resources to build the foundation for thisinfrastructure by 2030.The Sunrise Plan is an opportunity for stakeholders and investors to create lasting change far beyond what the Foundation hasthe resources to do. While these initiatives and their results will take shape after the Foundation sunsets in 2030, we are excitedto execute our final stepswalking in harmony with our partners with both rigor and passion to ensure the stage is set for a sunrise of change and sustainabilityGeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$8.4M
