Committed to Successful Partnerships
Eligibility
In order to prioritize our current grantees, we are no longer accepting applications from new organizations. To apply, your tax-exempt organization must have received a grant from Sand Hill Foundation in the last five years and dedicate 50% or more of your efforts towards the youth and families of San Mateo County as they navigate daily life with limited financial means.
Application Deadlines
Community needs do not have deadlines, so our foundation doesn’t either. We accept applications on a rolling basis which means anytime your organization wants to apply, you are welcome to do so if you meet our eligibility requirements. Sand Hill Foundation partners with Pacific Foundation Services for grantmaking and operational support.
