Donor Advised Grants

Many of our funds are donor advised, which means our donors recommend where they want the funds to go. In many cases, they don't need any assistance from us, but in others we provide input and feedback. When we hear of great projects in the Central San Joaquin Valley, we work to find a donor whose charitable goals match the need.

If you are a Community Benefit Organization (CBO) working to improve the quality of life in the Central San Joaquin Valley, please take some time to tell us more about your CBO by completing an Organization Profile Form.
