Overview
Created in 2007 through the merger of two local community foundations, Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF) serves San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. There are two million people living in this two-county region—more than 45 percent are people of color, one-third of residents are immigrants, nearly half the workforce is foreign-born, and close to two-thirds of those under the age of eighteen are children of immigrants. In Phase 1, SVCF led successful capacity-building efforts for organizations serving low-income people and communities of color. Using its experience and cultural competency, SVCF will continue to focus on organizations working to improve the quality of life for marginalized communities.
