About Our Grantmaking

As a local grantmaker, LAMV-CF primarily aligns its local funding with nonprofits and public entities based in - or directly serving - the communities of Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, and Mountain View. We also work with our donors and donor-advised fund holders on giving opportunities in the greater Bay Area, the state, and beyond.

Our focus area for fall 2023 is general operating support for organizations with impact in Mountain View, Los Altos, and Los Altos Hills.
