Racial Equity & Social Justice
Addressing systemic disparities is preeminent among our core strategic priorities, and it is the unifying goal of our key funding initiatives. All of our work is centered on building equity and transforming systems to create a Silicon Valley where everyone can thrive.
Housing
Our goal is to invest in strategies that will create communities in which everyone has a place to live.
Emergency Response

Advancing Financial Stability

Community Partnerships
Most of these targeted initiatives are three to six years in length. We occasionally take on shorter, high-impact projects.

Silicon Valley is one of the wealthiest regions in the nation, but inequities deeply rooted in long-standing systems of racial injustice stack the deck against many of our youngest children, particularly those who are Black and/or Latinx, low-income, have undocumented status and/or special needs.
