Community Input Project

The community foundation has identified a series of Requests for Proposals, or RFPs, that address five grantmaking strategies:

By using an RFP approach, the community foundation aims to solicit the best thinking of nonprofit service providers, public sector agencies, research institutions and other entities serving San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. We encourage you to read the research papers to better understand our goals and objectives on each strategy.

Stay informed about the announcement of future requests for proposals by signing up for our community e-newsletter. Review the key dates calendar for details on upcoming deadlines and information sessions. If you have questions, please contact us at grants@siliconvalleycf.org or 650.450.5400.
