The Kimball Foundation was established by William R. Kimball (1919 - 2005) and Sara H. Kimball (1936 - 1997). It was incorporated as a private foundation in the State of California in 1997.
Board of Directors Gretchen B. Kimball, President and CEO Grantmaking Guidelines 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:
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 The Board meets three times each year to make grants.
