Summary
Grant initiative offers substantial support—typically ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000 per project—for nonprofit organizations based California. It’s open to established 501(c)(3) public charities or exempt operating foundations that can demonstrate financial stability, transparent governance, and a mission aligned with one or more strategic focus areas supporting initiatives that enhance early childhood care and education, pre-collegiate learning, civic engagement, health and wellness, and arts and culture. Particular emphasis is placed on programs that benefit low-income youth, individuals with special needs.
Funding supports a variety of uses, such as capital improvements, program expansion, piloting innovative models, and driving systemic change. However, it does not cover general operating costs, debt reduction, endowments, scholarships, events, or scholarships . Applicants must hold site control for construction projects and demonstrate readiness for implementation.
The application process includes an optional concept submission in the spring (for the December cycle) or fall (for the June cycle), followed by a full proposal and site visit. Grants are awarded twice yearly, in June and December.
This grant is ideal for nonprofits seeking multi-year support to deepen their impact—whether that involves building facilities, scaling programs, or piloting transformative approaches in their communities.
