Dear Valued Readers,
We are thrilled to present the 2026 Giving Guide, highlighting over 80 incredible nonprofits that reflect the strength and generosity of Orange County’s nonprofit community.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the underwriters whose generous support made it possible for so many organizations to participate this year.
A special thank you to our esteemed publication sponsors – your partnerships are invaluable to our community. We also want to recognize our dedicated OCBJ team: Andie Kalinowski for her expert content editing, and Rich Loyd, Albert Ornelas, and Sonia Chung for their outstanding graphic design work.
The Giving Guide remains our most impactful special edition each year, and it’s truly inspiring to see it come together. This resource continues to make a meaningful difference in our community, and I look forward to seeing it grow even further.
We would like to thank our Underwriters at Large, Ducere Wealth, Haskell & White, LLP, Saunders Property Company, Trusted Tech Team, and Waterford Property Company. And a special thank you to our Diamond Sponsor, Zion Enterprises for their generosity and commitment to our Orange County Nonprofit Community.
Best,
Lesley Churchill
