Grant criteria
Grant recipients must have a location in Marin County, California and be within 25 miles of the 94920 zip code. In order to be considered, grants must support our mission of improving the quality of life for Belvedere and Tiburon Peninsula residents. We fund a wide variety of grants covering themes such as education, community outreach, healthy living, public safety, historical preservation, and the environment.
Grantee outcome report
The Belvedere Community Foundation encourages Grantees to complete a Grantee Outcome Report documenting the work supported by our grant. An Outcome Report form can be found here.
Matching funding
The Belvedere Community Foundation looks most favorably upon applications with matching funding sources, especially when a project is beyond Belvedere city limits, and generally does not make multi-year commitments or grants to projects located outside of the greater Tiburon Peninsula area.
Public recognition
The Belvedere Community Foundation requests that grantees provide public recognition of our grant support in their newsletters, in the media and wherever else appropriate.
