Summary

This grant opportunity is designed for nonprofit organizations and educational institutions located in or serving the San Francisco Bay Area of California. The foundation’s priority is to support programs that benefit at-risk youth and their families, with a particular emphasis on educational and human service initiatives.


Eligibility is limited to tax-exempt nonprofit entities—individuals are generally not eligible. Applicants must demonstrate that their project or program aligns with the foundation’s mission of strengthening education, youth development, and support for vulnerable populations. While there are no rigid programmatic restrictions, proposals that address gaps in services, offer innovative approaches, and show community impact are more competitive.


Applicants may apply during one of two annual cycles. Submissions for the first round are due by the end of March, with award decisions made in May. The second round opens later in the year, with a submission deadline in September, and decisions communicated in November. Organizations may submit in either or both cycles, as long as they meet the criteria and timelines.


Grant awards typically range from $10,000 to $25,000, reflecting a moderate level of support intended to strengthen or expand effective programs rather than fully fund large-scale operations. The number of grants awarded each year is in the dozens, allowing the foundation to support a portfolio of projects. There is no explicit requirement for matching funds, although well-balanced budgets and clear use of funds strengthen proposals. Recipients are generally expected to submit progress reports and a final report once the grant period concludes.


This grant opportunity is ongoing and part of the foundation’s strategy to invest in community organizations with proven dedication to youth, education, and human services in its region. Prospective applicants should monitor the foundation’s guidelines and plan ahead to submit within the March or September cycles.
