Ideal Applicant
A California-based community nonprofit or small organization focused on mental health, suicide prevention, rapid crisis support, or local human services seeking general operating or event support.
Good Fit
- • Organizational work is local to Santa Clara County or nearby California communities.
- • Program focus aligns with mental health, suicide prevention, crisis support, or community services.
- • Request is for general operating support or modest program/event funding in the $1K–$25K range.
- • Has local visibility or can be recommended/introduced by community partners or intermediaries.
Geography
Observed giving is entirely within California in the recorded years, with the latest year showing all grants made to in‑state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct, independently listed recipients (seven newly funded that year), indicating a moderate breadth of beneficiaries for a micro foundation despite dollar concentration among the largest five grants.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly states it funds only preselected applicants, which limits unsolicited access, but the latest year funded seven new recipients—so unfamiliar organizations can be added, typically via identification, referral, or invitation rather than a public application.
