Summary

In the state of California, an established foundation administers grant funding aimed at advancing health outcomes, racial equity, and community change across a defined region that includes the San Joaquin Valley, covering counties such as Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tulare. These funding opportunities are intended primarily for nonprofit organizations and community partners that are engaged in advocacy, systems change efforts, capacity building, and collaborative work that supports equitable access to services and improvements in quality of life across underserved communities.



One set of available grants focuses on policy and systems change advocacy and organizational learning. Advocacy grants under this initiative may provide awards of up to about $25,000 for one‑year projects, and are meant to support work that advances goals in areas such as health, housing, immigration, environmental justice, and related community issues. Learning grants offer smaller awards, generally up to around $15,000, for organizations that are building their capacity to engage in advocacy and systems change aligned with regional priorities.


In previous cycles, larger cluster funding has supported community initiatives such as land use and open space planning, with individual awards reaching around $50,000 to address conservation, climate resilience, and equitable access to public lands. The broader fund has historically invested millions of dollars over time in groups working on diverse issues including drinking water access, immigrant rights, wildfire resiliency, and farmworker health.


These funding opportunities are typically available only to qualifying nonprofit entities or community organizations operating within the specified counties and engaged in community‑driven work. The intent of use for these funds centers on supporting organizational efforts that promote health and racial equity, strengthen community capacity, and drive policy or systems change rather than direct service delivery to individuals.
