Ideal Applicant
A California-based, 501(c)(3) youth-serving organization or program that directly benefits Alviso/San José residents and can document a specific, locally focused use of funds.
Good Fit
- • Programs that serve children and youth in Alviso or greater San José.
- • Ability to show 501(c)(3) status and a recent Form 990 (the foundation requests these documents).
- • A clear, specific project or program budget tied to local residents (not general, statewide advocacy).
- • Experience managing grants in the foundation's observed range (small grants up to mid-five-figures and occasional larger awards).
Geography
Observed grantmaking is entirely in California and concentrated in the San José/Alviso area; the foundation's in-state share is 100% in the available years.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct grantees including large nonprofits and small local groups, and the portfolio includes both repeat and new recipients, indicating a moderately diverse local recipient set despite dollar concentration among a few organizations.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows four new recipients in 2024 and the funder publishes an application form, so new entrants have been funded; however strong dollar concentration to repeat local grantees and a residency restriction for Alviso reduce the likelihood that any unfamiliar applicant will succeed without a strong local fit.
