Our Foundation has a proud tradition of supporting charitable organizations in the East Bay Area and Hawaiian Islands since 1972.
The Foundation practices responsive grant making and awards grants in five selected fields of interest. Grant proposals are considered semi-annually in the spring and fall using a competitive application process. The Spring grant cycle runs from December through June, and the Fall grant cycle runs from June through December. Dates for the opening and closing of each grant cycle are posted on the Grant Cycle Dates section of this website.
Our Foundation is introducing a new E-Grant System in June 2010 which will move our grant making platform into a completely digital environment. As a result we will no longer be accepting requests for a Letter of Inquiry form, or Grant Proposals in hard copy. All grant related forms can be accessed from this website. We believe this system will make grants management more efficient, and less costly for the non-profit organizations that wish to participate in our grant process.
