Lcg Foundation
The site https://www.lcgfound.org/ is the LCG Foundation's official website and describes a private, grant‑making 501(c)(3) focused on direct-to-educator PK–12 grants. The site includes an Educator Grants page, board/staff bios, a blog, and contact information (PO Box in Sausalito, CA and [email protected]).

Ideal Applicant
A California-based PK–12 education organization or direct-to-educator project with clear, demonstrable classroom or county-level impact and local standing.
Good Fit
- • Located in California (in-state recipient history).
- • Project is explicitly PK–12 or teacher-directed (educator grants focus).
- • Clear local partners or endorsements (school district, county office, or recognized educator network).
- • Fits a single, well-defined ask (the funder tends to make one award at a time).
Geography
Observed giving is narrowly concentrated in California: both recorded grants were made to recipients in CA and only one state appears in the recent filings.
Recipient Variety
Across two observed years the foundation made a single grant each year to different organizations (one recipient per year), yielding a very small observed recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is limited and the foundation's filings and application metadata indicate grants are limited to preselected recipients; although a contact email is published, observed behavior suggests invitation-driven awards rather than an open competitive process.
