convene - collaborate - create The Underserved Initiatives
Boys & Girls Club of Cathedral City
SAGA funded a new strategic plan to expand the club's capacity to support its under-resourced community. The plan aims to optimize property use and strengthen staffing. By involving local contractors, laborers, and vendors, we’re driving key improvements. In 2024, we look forward to opening the Makers Space in the SAGA Center.

Magical Bridge
SAGA supports Magical Bridge community concept parks, which are redefining mission, vision, and values in inclusive ways recognized nationwide. Their Redwood City, Red Morton Park, completed in 2021, is a unique public park offering extensive benefits to the community.
Free Guitars 4 Kids
SAGA partnered with the Police Activities League, Redwood City Library, and Free Guitars for Kids, with support from Fender, to offer kids a free guitar upon completing a group guitar course. We believe the arts are a valuable way to build self-esteem and inspire creativity.
Redwood City Library Foundation
SAGA has partnered with the Redwood City Library Foundation on several initiatives. The Library Takeover Program engaged underserved community leaders through events and speakers on relevant issues. SAGA also supported the Common Knowledge Program to strengthen relationships within target groups.
SAGA brought About-Face into the library's curriculum to help young women address media pressures and body image issues. Additionally, we funded the Makers-Space, a flexible area for non-profits to serve the community. In 2022, we’ll launch a collaboration with the library and Renaissance Entrepreneur Center to offer financial education through their Secure Futures program.
PAL, SAL & First Tee
SAGA funded a joint project between First Tee of Silicon Valley, SAL, and PAL to bring the junior golf program to Redwood City. The program exposed youth to First Tee’s nine core values, while also fostering better relations between law enforcement and the community.
Hiller Aviation & Police Activities League
SAGA partnered with the Hiller Aviation Museum to provide hands-on STREAM learning for underserved communities, funding transportation and programs to give families access to the museum experience.
Weingarten Children’s Center
Building on our support for the Stanford University and WCC collaboration, the Baby-Talk program for the hearing impaired will soon be joined by Talk2Me. This revolutionary program will expand access to education for underserved communities, offering a versatile, user-friendly platform ideal for remote learning, especially in rural or resource-limited areas.
