Funding Priorities
Our support is directed to organizations that provide services within our Giving Pillars in San Bernardino
and
Riverside Counties, and to Tribal Governments and Tribal nonprofit organizations throughout the United
States.
Funding Exclusions
At this time, the charitable giving program does not support:
- Individuals for any purpose (e.g. scholarships, hardship assistance, field trips).
- Grants are not made to organizations that discriminate against certain groups or individuals in the
delivery
of programs and services on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, age, sexual
orientation or
disability.
- Elections, political candidates, or political campaigns
- Fundraising dinners or events
- Programs delivering services to the general population outside San Bernardino and Riverside Counties
(Tribal
Government requests excepted).
- Organizations that spend more than 25 percent of their operating budget on administrative overhead and
fundraising costs.
- National organizations that do not deliver services in our geographic area (national Tribal
organizations
requests excepted).
- Third party funding/funding for redistribution to other groups.
- Religious organizations seeking funding for religious purposes. Religious organizations that have
received
501(c)(3) designation, seeking funding for projects outlined in our
Giving Pillars are eligible to
apply.
- Booster Clubs. Clubs are encouraged to work directly with school principals on school application.
- Beauty pageants
While requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, please note that requests are generally not
approved to
fund the majority or total cost of a project budget.
