About Our Fundraising & Events

Humboldt Sponsors grant funds are raised in a variety of ways.
Our popular annual Rummage Sale, a Humboldt County tradition since 1965, 
was one of our primary fundraisers. Our 2022 "Grand Finale" Rummage Sale, 
the last and final one, raised more than $40,000 this year!

Humboldt Sponsors offers a variety of other fundraising events throughout the year. 
These projects have included the Spring Luncheon and Fashion Show,
our past summer fundraisers: Margaritas by Moonlight, Boots & Bandanas, 
and NEW this year - "A Night Under the Stars" - held August 9th
at Septentrio Winery in Arcata for HS members & guests. 

During the last three years, Humboldt Sponsors quickly learned to pivot and develop creative new approaches
to fundraising in response to event cancellations due to COVID19. 
♦ In 2020 & 2021, we initiated a direct-mail fundraiser, "For the Kids of Humboldt," 
which was very successful and well supported by our generous local community.
♦ We also held our first ever virtual online holiday auction fundraisers: 
"Merry, Merry Christmas Cheer" in November 2020, and "Welcome to the Holidays" in November 2021.
♦ Our "Spring Furniture & Home Décor Online Auction Fundraiser," was held in April 2021. 

♦ Project Private Enterprise, or PPE, is another annual fundraising effort. This is an individual creative endeavor by 
Active Members to raise money each year for Humboldt Sponsors. 
♦ Personal donations, along with memorial and honorarium contributions, are also valuable fundraising sources.
