Eastern San Gabriel Valley's Community Anchor
Pomona is a city in transition — once known primarily as an agricultural hub, it has evolved into a diverse urban center where university culture, arts revitalization, and working-class communities coexist.
The city's majority-Latino population creates a communications environment where Spanish-language outreach and culturally competent engagement are not optional — they are essential for any organization seeking community trust.
RFC Communications brings deep experience in Pomona's evolving landscape, understanding the interplay between Cal Poly Pomona's influence, the downtown arts district's progressive constituency, and the city's working-class neighborhoods.

How Engagements Take Shape in Pomona
Multi-year community engagement in Pomona
A regional health system asked RFC to design a sustained Pomona engagement focused on housing & homelessness. We built an audience model from Pomona household and organizational data, structured a multi-channel community outreach program, and embedded a field cadence that turned a six-month launch into a three-year compounding partnership with local conveners. The program's reach and depth grew every renewal cycle.
Coalition-anchored outreach across Los Angeles County
A coalition of Los Angeles County non-profits engaged RFC to coordinate a Pomona-anchored precision mail programs push. Rather than running parallel programs, we mapped the existing civic infrastructure, brokered shared messaging, and produced a single in-language mail and field deployment that the coalition members executed in concert. Cost per qualified contact dropped materially; partner satisfaction stayed high through the engagement.
