We Can Help
If you're a non-profit organization, public agency or community group, we invite you to submit a proposal for funding. We invest in both citywide and neighborhood efforts, as well as programs that serve a specific community (such as homeless families, children living with their grandparents, LGBT families, children with special needs or children who do not speak English at home).
Please keep in mind that we generally only accept applications in response to our periodically announced funding opportunities, called Requests for Proposals (RFPs). However, we may review community generated proposals during the year.
If you'd like to be notified when future RFPs become available, email us and tell us how we can reach you. You can also look over past Requests for Proposals to see how we've connected with groups to support their essential work.
