MISSION STATEMENT
The primary purpose of Friends of Allied Nonprofits (FAN)  is to provide ongoing supplemental funding
for ten nonprofit agencies serving the mental  health needs of Yolo County.  The secondary purpose is
to provide employment development opportunities for Yolo County mental health clients.

A BRIEF HISTORY
Fundraising has been a long-standing dilemma for nonprofits in Yolo County and elsewhere.  The need for additional revenue sources had become increasingly apparent in the late 1980’s as California slipped into the deepest recession in recent memory and traditional funding sources dried up.

1991
The idea of opening a consignment store was presented at a Yolo Community Care Continuum
(YCCC) retreat.  However, instead of benefiting just one agency, it was decided it would be organized
to benefit eleven Yolo County agencies.

June 1992
Friends of Allied Nonprofits (FAN) was formed and application was made to the state for
nonprofit status to operate a consignment store.

December 2, 1992
All Things Right and Relevant (R&R), a 3,500 sq. ft. store, opened with great fanfare.

1994
FAN opened a 750 sq. ft. thrift shop (R&R Thrift) employing mental health clients.

1996
R&R expanded again by adding a 750 sq. ft. processing center for consigned and donated merchandise.

2001
Well over a quarter of a million dollars has been distributed equally to recipient agencies.
