Los Altos Community Foundation’s Community Grants program recently granted over $85,000 to 21 local nonprofits serving our communities. The Community Grants program helps fund new and emerging philanthropic activities as well as providing operational grants to established local organizations.
Since 1991, the Foundation’s Community Grants program has provided over $1.3 million to local nonprofits. LACF manages re-granting programs for the David and Lucile Packard and Heising-Simons Foundations.
DAF Owners boost LACF’s granting power
We received far more funding requests than we could possibly meet. But thanks to two of LACF’s Donor Advised Fund (DAF) owners, some of that funding gap was filled.
When DAF owners step forward, they can really boost LACF’s grant-making power to the benefit of the local community. And DAF owners can feel comfortable knowing their support is going to organizations vetted by LACF.
