Ideal Applicant
An established California nonprofit (especially in the San Francisco area) working in faith-based or education sectors seeking general operating support and having an existing connection or referral into the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Located in California, preferably San Francisco/Oakland region.
- • Mission aligned with faith-based, Catholic education, or community service organizations.
- • Asking for general operating support rather than a competitive program grant.
- • Established relationship or referral from an existing grantee or local intermediary.
- • Organizational scale appropriate for mid-size to large grants (typical awards range from ~$10k up to $500k in recent years).
Geography
Grants reach recipients in multiple states (nine states in the latest year) but are heavily concentrated in California, which received about 78% of dollars in 2024.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows roughly 35 distinct independent grantees, with many repeat recipients across years, indicating a broad recipient set even though a few large grants account for a substantial share of dollars.
New Applicants
The foundation states it funds only preselected organizations and across three observed years added very few new grantees (two in the latest year), so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without a referral or direct relationship.
