Formerly known as SDC Next 100, we are now a federally
recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation

Change is afoot in the Sonoma Valley. And with change comes opportunity.

It’s time to act if we are to make the most of the momentum of recent events. Your donation will help turn things around for the future of the Sonoma Developmental Center (SDC), and save its historic buildings and its mature landscape at the center of our community.

For our way of life, and for the lives of generations to come, donate to continue our efforts.

We have a strategy at Sonoma Valley Next 100. It includes:

  • Form the Sonoma Mountain Community Services District as a democratic voice for the community and a “catcher’s mitt” for SDC when the time is right.

  • Challenge the State – make them implement the promises of the Enabling Legislation, including those for public service uses; protection of the open space and the wildlife corridor; affordable housing as infill development; historic preservation and adaptive reuse; all at a rural scale.

  • Design within the services available – water, sewer, roads, and safe evacuation routes.

  • Negotiate for a lasting solution for the future of the SDC – one that keeps the land in public ownership long term, and gives the community in the Sonoma Valley a say in decisions long term.

To implement our strategy, we will need financial help of our neighbors and friends from all over the Sonoma Valley. You can donate or check out our initiatives and estimated budget below.

Please support us now.
The future of the SDC, and our way of life in the Sonoma Valley, is in your hands.

Act now.
Build on our recent successes as a community.
Only with your help can we make this happen.
