Overview
CZI Community Fund
The CZI Community Fund supports non-profit organizations across San Mateo County that are increasing access to the building blocks of social and economic well-being — like housing, healthcare, education, job and career skills, and supporting civic engagement — so people have the power to shape their lives and communities.
Overview
Community leaders and nonprofit organizations are breaking down barriers to help create a more socially, economically, and racially just San Mateo County, where people have the opportunity to shape their lives and communities. The CZI Community Fund was created to support this work. This annual grantmaking program pairs grants with capacity building programming to support leadership and organizational development, so organizations have the resources and tools they need to further their missions and work.
Through their programs and services, Community Fund partners are growing socioeconomic opportunities for all communities across San Mateo County, including low-income households, BIPOC individuals and communities, immigrants regardless of documentation status, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, and other groups.
