Grant To Support Non-Profit Events and Philanthropic Activities in International
GrantID: 7847
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This foundation is based in Santa Ynez, California and focuses primarily on supporting communities in Santa Barbara County (especially northern portions of it), while also engaging with projects internationally in certain Central American and Caribbean countries. The grants are aimed at charitable, nonprofit‑type organizations (or organizations with an appropriate fiscal sponsor), not for‑profit businesses or individuals.
The foundation is interested in funding programs that serve people living at or below the poverty line, aiming to improve quality of life through community development: efforts like education, health care, housing, clean water or agriculture, job creation, and other social‑service needs are among the types of community benefit outcomes they support. Eligibility requires that applicant organizations have tax‑exempt status (or a fiscal sponsor), serve the target communities, and maintain reasonable overhead (typically 25% or less).
Applicants submit a proposal with a project description, expected beneficiaries, budget, and plan for measuring impact, along with their organization’s financials. The foundation states that it currently is not accepting unsolicited grant requests under its revised strategy; instead, organizations may send an introductory overview to be considered as potential partners.
Grants are awarded for one‑year increments even if funding a longer project; multi‑year support requires re‑application annually. The foundation requires that grant requests not exceed about 50% of the total project budget, and they favor organizations with sound finances and track record.
Because the foundation currently is not openly soliciting proposals, there is no fixed public ceiling or typical grant amount announced — funding depends on project scope, community need, and available resources. The foundation’s focus on low‑income and underserved communities means that grants are intended primarily for nonprofit programs serving public benefit, not for personal use or business profit.
If you are located in International and working in the area of Community/Economic Development, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
