Sand Hill Foundation Grantmaking Program

_NOTE: Community needs do not have deadlines, so our foundation doesn’t either. We accept applications on a rolling basis which means anytime you want to apply, you are welcome to do so here._

_Although this may slow things down, generally we make decisions about all requests within two months – and promise to keep you informed along the way if this is not possible. Renewal applications are welcome at the close of your prior 12-month grant period, as noted in your last grant agreement. Requests that must be considered before December 31 should be received no later than October 31._

Committed to Successful Partnerships

Sand Hill Foundation supports organizations within our focus areas that have strong leadership, visionary plans for the future, and an appetite for continuous learning. We seek to learn from our partners to provide the right kind of funding when you need it most for the greatest impact.

Sand Hill Foundation is dedicated to the idea of local giving – funding programs and activities within the geographic region we call home.

Building Our Local Community

At Sand Hill Foundation, we believe that a community’s ability to thrive is determined by the combination of equitable opportunity, commitment, and heart. A community dedicated to taking care of its people and its environment, year after year, is a community that will prosper.
