The East Bay Community Foundation partners with individuals, families and organizations to:

• broaden and deepen philanthropy;
• assist causes and organizations that make the East Bay a better place; and to
• provide a source of expertise on the area’s most pressing problems and on those organizations providing solutions to those problems.

We provide our clients a wide array of choice of charitable funds complemented by complete services to manage philanthropy, including investment of charitable funds, information on tax advantages, advice on causes and organizations needing and meriting financial support, connections to specific grantees, administrative services for grantmaking, and tracking expenditures of grant money.

We work behind the scenes to enable our clients to concentrate on the most rewarding part of philanthropy and charitable giving: helping important causes in need.

With a sound investment policy and prudent guidance by a Finance and Investment Committee composed of top financial investment professionals, we provide clients with investment strategy that meet defined objectives.

For our clients interested in leaving a legacy, we provide services ensuring their philanthropy lives on.
