Grantmaking Guidelines and Application Procedures
(revised 03/18/11)

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 has temporarily suspended its grantmaking until 2012 while the board completes a strategic planning process. The Foundation is honoring existing commitments, but will not accept any new applications for funding.
