Organizational History

In 2000, a group of leaders from the nonprofit sector formed the San Mateo County Council of Nonprofits to promote collaboration, and speak collectively with a stronger, unified voice on behalf of the sector. Since then, membership in the organization has grown to more than 100 nonprofit, business, government and community leaders. With a service grant from Taproot Foundation, the Council in 2004 renamed itself as Thrive - The Alliance of Nonprofits for San Mateo County and launched a new brand to better represent its vision of transforming the nonprofit sector in order to help improve the overall quality of life in San Mateo County.
