The Morris Stulsaft Foundation

Our mission is to instill hope in Bay Area children and youth in need and provide opportunities that help prepare them for fulfilled and productive lives.

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT THE FOUNDATION’S July 2009 – June 2010 GRANTMAKING

Recently the Morris Stulsaft Foundation undertook a strategic planning process to revise its grantmaking strategy.

For the July 2009 - June 2010 fiscal year, the foundation will not be accepting unsolicited proposals or letters of inquiry. The foundation will request grant applications and then work closely with applicants on their proposals for the Board’s review and consideration.

Foundation staff members make a concerted effort to respond to inquiries, but interested grant seekers should carefully review the contents of this website before contacting the foundation.

Both the board and the staff of the foundation understand these are challenging times, and we wish all organizations the best in their fundraising endeavors. Please continue to check this website for new information.
