In keeping with our mission and purpose, the California Community Foundation makes both donor advised and competitive grants.

Competitive Grantmaking

Special Grant Programs

The foundation administers several special grant programs that were created to meet the interests of donors or partnering foundations. Each of these grant programs has its own guidelines, application and review process.

Donor Advised Fund Grantmaking

Individuals, families and organizations that have established donor advised funds at the community foundation determine the goals and objectives of the grants from their funds. Donor advised funds are not open to requests for funding.
