We invest in good ideas and strong programs to help close the achievement gap, inspire a love of learning, and provide children with skills to succeed in the global economy. We champion strategies that work and new approaches that can serve as models to follow and lead to systemic changes in education.

We support programs focused on closing the gap in high quality, affordable, and advanced health care for children and youth in California. Whether broadening access to health care or funding new approaches to health care delivery, we believe that innovation and technology can help build a healthier population from childhood through adulthood.

We believe that investing in youth is a cornerstone to long-term security and prosperity in California and beyond. We support mentoring, career training, financial literacy, leadership development, and other programs that provide youth with critical life skills.

We seek to improve local, regional, and statewide ecosystems that enable our children to thrive. We believe that engaged and informed community members can create solutions that advance opportunities for all our children.

We work with early- to mid-stage non-profit organizations taking innovative approaches to improving the lives of children at risk in California.

In selecting our partners, we look at the quality of the organization’s leadership, the strength of its programs, and the potential for significant impact. We work with organizations that have an entrepreneurial mindset, a good business plan, well-run operations, clear goals, and the means to measure achievement. We value transparent sharing of what we learn from our success and failures, so we’re constantly advancing and improving our work. We invest in 20-40 organizations each year, with grants typically ranging from $15,000 to $40,000.

Vision to Learn

We want our partners to focus on serving their communities, so we try to keep our grant process as simple as possible.

We believe in the appropriate level of diligence for the scope of the proposed project.  Our grant applications are by invitation only.  We do an initial screen to ensure a prospective partner organization aligns with our mission and priorities, which may involve a phone interview or site visit.  Once we determine potential fit, we invite the organization to submit an on-line proposal describing the scope of the project, budget and goals.  The board meets regularly throughout the year to review and approve proposals.  We don’t typically award multi-year grants, but may invite our partners to renew grants on an annual basis for up to a total of four years. Any grant in the fourth year will be made only as a 1:1 match. We want to encourage partners to seek diversified funding and to allow us to support new programs.

Because we receive hundreds of inquiries each year and have a small team, we are unable to accept unsolicited grant proposals.  However, prospective partners can register on our grant portal (below) so they are in our database.  We try to be a paperless organization and keep our data secure in one place, so we ask that all inquiries be sent via the portal, rather than by mail or email.  Current partners should also use the portal to submit annual reports and renewal requests.
