Foundation grants for community development nonprofits in California
2,112 private foundations gave $815 million for community development to organizations in California in tax years 2019 to 2025, according to their own IRS filings.
The table shows how many of them gave in each county, and how much. Many foundations give in more than one county, so the foundation counts add up to more than the total.
Foundations that fund community development, by county
From the grants private foundations list in their IRS tax filings (Form 990-PF, tax years 2019 to 2025), as of Oct 31, 2026. Grants to individuals are left out. A grant counts for the county of the organization that received it, wherever the foundation is based. The typical grant is the middle one. Program areas come from each organization's IRS category and the stated purpose of the grant, so those figures are estimates. A foundation can ask to be left off this page by emailing contact@grantassembly.com.
