OUR PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES
REVITALIZE SOUTH SACRAMENTO WATERWAYS
The Stephens Foundation is a proud recipient of the City of Sacramento’s Community Action Grant. With this support, we’re creating educational opportunities that teach our community about watersheds, stormwater, and the vital role our water systems play in keeping neighborhoods healthy. Together, we’re building knowledge, stewardship, and a healthier Sacramento for all.
Join Our Hangouts – Learn & Grow Together!
We invite you to be part of our RSS Hangouts and learn how to keep our neighborhoods healthy through environmental stewardship. South Sacramento is often described as an environmental justice community, facing unique challenges around access to knowledge and resources. Together, we can change that. The more we know, the more we grow—healthy, strong, and happy!
2025 SOUTH SACRAMENTO SUMMIT
This event brought together community partners, elected officials, and business owners to discuss opportunities to improve the livability for those who live, work, and play in our beautiful South Sacramento community.
One of the main goals was to encourage our policy leaders to work together to view the South Sacramento community as one cohesive environment—defined by the lived experiences of its residents rather than by political boundaries.
The day offered an incredible opportunity to connect, collaborate, and make meaningful progress toward revitalizing South Sacramento.
Stay tuned for our 2026 dates!
