Supporting our community

Sonoma Clean Power is dedicated to strengthening our communities. As a not-for-profit public agency, we invest our resources in the countless organizations, groups, and individuals who help make the cities and counties we serve healthier, safer, and more equitable places to live. Guided by our Mission, we support our communities by contributing financial sponsorships and our time and expertise.
