Information about our Grants

The Foundation makes grants twice per year.  In the spring, we make grants in the Arts & Culture and the Environment categories and in the fall, we make grants in the categories of Education and Health & Human Services.  Within each of these categories of interest, the Foundation makes grants in some very specific focuses.  These focuses are reviewed and determined by the board and posted to our website approximately six months in advance of a grant cycle deadline.

We make grants to nonprofits doing work in California (San Francisco Bay Area focusing on Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Alameda counties) and Oregon (Greater Portland area).  We make grants for general support and for specific projects.  We do not make grants to religiously affiliated organizations nor to organizations that have a religious curriculum.  We do not make grants to individuals.  We are not currently accepting applications for international work.  Our typical grant size is $5,000 to $10,000.
