Ideal Applicant
A California-based arts, education, or health nonprofit with an existing relationship or local visibility and a plausible connection to the foundation’s board or intermediaries.
Good Fit
- • Located in California, especially the San Francisco area.
- • Work in arts, education, or health-related programs similar to prior grantees.
- • An existing referral, invitation, or prior connection to board members or their advisors.
- • History of accepting support via donor-advised funds or intermediary vehicles.
Geography
In the most recent year all grants were made to California organizations; historically most giving has been California-focused with occasional out-of-state gifts, but 2024 showing entirely in-state concentration.
Recipient Variety
Across 2022–2023 the foundation funded many distinct recipients (about 33 recipients each year), but 2024 consisted of only three recipients with a high dollar concentration, so overall recipient breadth appears moderate with recent contraction.
New Applicants
The foundation states it funds only preselected recipients and no public application route or contact details were found; although a small number of new grantees have appeared in recent years, direct evidence that unfamiliar applicants can access funding is weak.
