Ideal Applicant
A California-based university program or local scholarship/young-entrepreneurship initiative (especially UC Berkeley-affiliated programs) with an existing relationship or referral to the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Programmatic focus on youth entrepreneurship or scholarships tied to UC Berkeley.
- • Located in California and able to receive institutional grants.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $2K–$30K range.
- • Existing institutional relationship or introduction from a known intermediary.
Geography
Observed giving across all available years is entirely within California, with a 100% in-state share and only one state represented in the filings.
Recipient Variety
The 2023 filings show six distinct recipients (including several individual scholarships), but 2022 and 2024 each show a single institutional recipient; overall the portfolio shows moderate variety historically but recent years are more concentrated.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings and application metadata indicate it funds only preselected recipients and there is no public website or submission contact; while 2023 included new small scholarship recipients, the invitation-only declaration and the recent concentration suggest unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to break in without a referral.
