Martinez, CA – The Contra Costa County Historical Society received a generous donation in November of 2024 from California Foundation for Stronger Communities (“CFSC”) of $20,000 to continue the CCCHS mission to Preserve, protect, and provide public access to the records and heritage of Contra Costa County.
The CFSC donation is made possible by the Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a California non-profit public benefit corporation, and acts as the Board of Directors for the California Municipal Finance Authority (“CMFA”).
Their goal is to “strengthen local communities by assisting with the financing of economic development and charitable activities throughout the State of California.” The donation received by Contra Costa County Historical Society is a direct result of the services CMFA provides to local governments, non-profits, and businesses.

Thanks to this generous donation, CCCHS can continue to archive the precious collections that are so important to our county’s history.
