Overview
The Philanthropy program applies three criteria for its Serving Bay Area Communities (SBAC) grants: (a) the work supports an innovative philanthropic model, (b) the work had some potential to scale regionally and nationally, and (c) the work provides direct service to Bay Area communities. With this SBAC grant, we support the implementation of collective impact initiatives in the Bay Area as part of the Aspen Institute’s Opportunity Youth Incentive Fund. These initiatives seek to reconnect disconnected youth (opportunity youth) with education and employment opportunities, via two backbone organizations—Kids in Common in Santa Clara County and Urban Strategies Council in Oakland.
