Grantmaking Guidelines
Updated July 29, 2010
The primary purpose of the Kimball Foundation is to provide opportunities for at-risk and disadvantaged individuals in the Bay Area to improve the quality of their lives and reach their highest potential. The Foundation supports non-profit organizations serving the residents of San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo and Sonoma Counties, and to a limited extent Santa Clara County, as far south as Palo Alto.
The Kimball Foundation is focused on funding programs that support disadvantaged youth with the following services:
• Academic enrichment,
• Cultural enrichment,
• Environmental education, and
• Vocational development.
High priority is given to organizations which promote college access and encourage community service for low-income youth. Grants in the arts are made to groups that predominately serve youth.
The Foundation prefers to receive requests for specific projects and programs, but will consider grants for capital improvements and equipment. The Foundation does not support medical research, individuals, endowments, events, annual appeals, or religious organizations other than those providing non-sectarian services to the community.
Application Procedure
Updated February 3, 2012
**PLEASE NOTE: The Kimball Foundation is currently transitioning to an online application format and has recently instituted new submission procedures for its Interim Grants Program. Please carefully review the information listed below before submitting a grant request.**
Grant
Renewal Requests
Grant renewal requests are received by invitation only. The foundation
will solicit requests for renewal funding from select organizations
that have received previous support. The renewal request serves as both
the final report of the previous grant and a proposal for subsequent
funding. If your organization has been invited to submit a renewal request,
please click on the following:
I'd like to submit a Grant Renewal
Request.
Letters
of Intent
If you are interested in submitting an LOI and would like to learn more
about the requirements, please click on the following:
I'd like to submit a Letter of Intent.
Full
Proposals
After reviewing a successful LOI, the foundation may invite full proposals
from organizations that are not eligible to submit a renewal request
(see above). If your organization has been invited to submit a full
proposal, please click on the following:
I’d like to submit a Full Proposal.
Interim
Grant Requests
The intent of the interim grants program is to support organizations
not previously funded by the foundation, encourage new ideas and/or
pilot programs, provide a boost to small programs, and respond to a
one-time emergency need in a timely manner. Interim requests are limited
to $10,000 or less. To submit an interim grant request, please click
on the following:

Grant Request
Reporting Requirements
If your organization has not received an invitation from the foundation to submit a renewal request for subsequent funding a final report is required. Reports should be submitted approximately one year after the receipt of grant funds. Organizations who have received multiyear pledges must submit an interim report on the use of the first year grant funds before the second year of funding will be released. For further information on the reporting procedure, please see Reporting Requirements.

If you have any questions or concerns about the submission process, please
