ELIGIBILITY

Organizations whose operating budget was less than $1.5 million in the most recently completed fiscal year can apply. Financial and tax statements are required as part of the application. Your impact on our community is a critical factor, so please evaluate this as you assess whether you are a good fit, as we have more requests than funds. Please contact grants@sancarloscf.org before applying if you have questions or concerns about your eligibility.

Great Local Area Nonprofits
Our grants team is comprised of community members who carefully read and evaluate the nonprofits who apply and choose those we feel are or will make the biggest difference for the San Carlos community. There are many wonderful nonprofits in our area. If you have a favorite, we encourage you to support them directly. If, however, you’d like to rely on the careful assessment of the foundation, you can support many by donating to either our grants fund or to all community foundation activities.
