In 1998, the Bank of America Foundation partnered with United Way of America and pledged $50 million dollars over five years to support the various projects around the country. Santa Cruz County is benefiting from that pledge.
In 1999 in Santa Cruz County, a leadership committee came together with representatives from business, non-profit, government, health care, education, and other sectors of the community to plan the local initiative. A Strategic Plan was developed.
