Grantmaking Guidelines and Application Procedures
(revised 02/04/10)

Established in 2001, The Farese Family Foundation supports public charities in San Francisco and Marin counties. Believing that education can be an important leveler in our society, the Foundation’s interests are:

• Innovation and reform in public education serving low-income students: programs for professional adults (teachers, principals, etc.) that develop school leadership and management skills, and curriculum development.
• Early Literacy: Programs that seek to improve literacy skills in children ages 0-9, are responding carefully to the needs in their communities, and have strong leadership.

The Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals.

Application Procedure for Solicited Proposals

Reapplying Procedure for Anchor Organizations
The Farese Family Foundation is committed to building ongoing relationships with organizations whose programs align with the mission of the foundation in distinctive ways. With that in mind, the foundation has designated a small number of agencies as “Anchor” organizations.
