Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • English learner and bilingual education policy, advocacy, research in California
  • General operating support for Santa Clara and San Mateo County safety-net nonprofits
  • Affordable housing production, homelessness services, farmworker housing
  • College access, completion, and workforce pathways for first-generation students
  • Donor-advised funds at Silicon Valley Community Foundation and impact investing vehicles
  • Immigrant and Latino community organizing, rapid response, small business support

Typical grant

Median grant is about $66,000, with the middle half between $5,000 and $150,000. The seven-figure checks go almost entirely to family donor-advised funds at Silicon Valley Community Foundation, ImpactAssets, and one housing production deal with San Mateo County; competitive program grants cluster at $200,000 to $500,000, and English learner policy work lands at $200,000 to $365,000. With 1,376 grants to 593 recipients over three years, most grantees are funded repeatedly, often two to three times.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • TO PROVIDE GENERAL OPERATING SUPPORT
  • ENGLISH LEARNER (EL)
  • DUAL LANGUAGE LEARNERS (DLLS)
  • TO SUPPORT RAPID RESPONSE
  • TO PROVIDE PROJECT SUPPORT
  • CAPACITY BUILDING

Positioning adjacent work

  • Tie your work explicitly to English learners or dual language learners in California policy and practice.
  • Ask $200,000 to $350,000 for a defined policy, research, or narrative-change project.
  • Name a Santa Clara or San Mateo County site, district, or partner organization by name.
  • Offer to inform program strategy directly, as WestEd's economic analysis for the EL program did.

Worth knowing: Roughly 1,173 of 1,376 grants go to California, heavily concentrated in San Jose and the Peninsula, and the largest dollars are internal transfers to family DAFs rather than open competitive giving. The English learner portfolio was in a documented "strategic refresh" in 2024, and out-of-state grantees (New Venture Fund, CAST, Braven) win by running California or Silicon Valley programs.
