Supporting Our Community
Explore Available Grants
If you are looking for funding, the Community Foundation has numerous options. We manage a growing collection of funds which serve the diverse needs of San Benito County.
Community Impact Matching Grants
Supporting nonprofit organizations who serve the broad needs of San Benito County. If your organization is general in nature, this type of grant may be for you.
Children's Special Needs Grants
The Martin Rajkovich Children's Fund was established to enhance the quality of life for chronically ill children in San Benito County. Look to this fund if you want to refer a child with medical needs.
Women's Fund Grants
Grants from this fund are given to organizations that address the needs of women and girls in our county through the larger Community Impact Matching Grant cycle.
2019 Community Foundation Grant Recipients
Community Foundation grants are made through our various funds. Matching Impact Grants are competitive, but other grants are made on donor initiative. Each grant is a story of
resources meeting needs, of people doing good things in our communities, either by giving or doing. We applaud our donors and those organizations getting the good work done.
