Sponsorship & Grants


SPONSORSHIP & GRANT FUNDING
The Harbor Point Charitable Foundation provides financial support in 2 major ways:
• As a sponsor of fundraising events produced by nonprofit organizations and
• An annual grant awards program.

Guidelines
The Foundation provides sponsorship support and grants only to nonprofit organizations that are exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation does not support  individuals or for-profit organizations, or fund capital improvements, religious activities, program advertising, political parties, offices or candidates. The range of approved grants is generally $1,000-$10,000.

An organization can receive one grant OR one sponsorship per calendar year. The Foundation’s strong preference is to fund one year, rather than multi-year grants.

Consideration is limited to organizations whose programs support our overall mission, which is to fund and facilitate the most promising organizations aimed at improving the quality of life for Bay Area adults and children in need.

Our focus is two-fold:
1) To support innovative organizations dedicated to serving adults and children experiencing a health crisis, and
2) To support educational, arts, athletic and nutritional programs demonstrating a commitment to our children’s future.

The Foundation has a geographic focus, providing funds only for programs and services that benefit residents of the San Francisco Bay Area, with a special emphasis on Marin County.

The Foundation’s Board of Directors will only review requests that follow these funding guidelines.
