The foundation reported 19 grants totaling $167,500 in 2024. Grant amounts ranged from $2,500 to $15,000, with a median of $10,000. The largest awards included $15,000 each to Ready Set Read, Young Storytellers, and Tia Chucha’s Central Cultural.

The foundation’s website describes its grant cycles as closed and its general grantmaking as not open to unsolicited applications. The Junior Board’s grant process is invitation-only. Its application guidance says eligible organizations must have current 501(c)(3) public charity status under section 509(a)(1) or (2), be located in California, and directly serve children and youth in Los Angeles County and/or Santa Clara County. The same guidance generally calls for an annual organizational budget under $10 million, says requests must not exceed 20% of the organization’s annual budget, and identifies exceptions for certain larger organizations or public charter schools. The general grantmaking page separately lists a budget of $5 million or less and Los Angeles County. The website also says it does not fund individuals, organizations with less than one full year of operational and financial history as a 501(c)(3), or individual schools, school districts, or home and school clubs.
