Overview

Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF) advances innovative philanthropic solutions to challenging problems and is leading a regional response to COVID-19 and its effects on communities in the Bay Area. This grant will support two of SVCF’s efforts: The Regional Response Fund and the Regional Nonprofit Emergency Fund. The first fund will provide flexible operating grants to trusted lead partner organizations with deep roots in communities throughout the 10-county Bay Area region. These lead organizations, in turn, will provide direct support to people and families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The second fund will be administered by local community foundations in the 10-county Bay Area region and will help sustain essential nonprofit organizations by providing flexible operating support grants.
