The Downtown Sacramento Partnership is excited to announce a call for nonprofit proposals to become the charity partner for the upcoming 2025 Dine Downtown. From January 10 to January 19, 2025, this beloved 10-day culinary celebration brings together Sacramento’s top restaurants to offer special 3-course meals for $45. For each meal sold, $1 will be donated to the selected nonprofit, supporting vital causes impacting Sacramento’s urban core.
Dine Downtown’s charitable component has grown over the years, with more than 10,000 meals sold last season, resulting in thousands of dollars donated to support a local nonprofit. The 2025 program aims to continue this tradition by choosing a partner organization dedicated to issues critical to downtown Sacramento, such as community enhancement, arts and culture, small business support, and food accessibility.
“This is an incredible opportunity for Dine Downtown not only to highlight Sacramento’s vibrant food scene but also to give back to our community,” said Michael Ault, Executive Director of Downtown Sacramento Partnership. “We’re thrilled to extend this year’s support to a nonprofit whose work aligns with our shared vision of a safe, engaging, and prosperous downtown.”
Nonprofit Partnership Opportunity
Eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits are encouraged to apply by submitting a proposal that outlines their mission, programs, and intended use of the Dine Downtown funds. The selected organization can expect to receive $8,000–$12,000, based on meal sales, along with event promotion that will increase visibility for their cause. Nonprofits serving the Sacramento metropolitan area and aligned with Downtown Sacramento Partnership’s mission to “build value downtown” are strongly encouraged to apply.
Proposal Deadline: November 22, 2024
