Donate to the Community Leadership Fund

When you give to the Community Leadership Fund, you’re helping the Foundation pursue its broad mission with a donation of general support. This flexible fund powers critical grantmaking programs, sector-specific research, and community leadership initiatives that make the Valley stronger and more successful. It also enables us to launch new solutions to emerging challenges and ensures we can respond quickly when crises arise.
