Recent grant recipients are concentrated in these states. Funders sometimes fund outside their primary states for high-fit projects, so don't self-eliminate solely on geography — check each opportunity's stated eligibility.

How to apply for California Community Foundation grants

Most California Community Foundation applications require: an organizational profile with mission and programs, a project proposal aligned with the funder's stated priorities, a project budget, and supporting attachments (IRS determination letter, board list, recent financials). Many private and community foundations require a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) before a full proposal — see our guide below.
