Company Profile

Company Overview

Founded in 1928, The East Bay Community Foundation -- one of the oldest and largest
community foundations in the United States -- is a leading resource for mobilizing financial and
leadership resources to transform East Bay communities. By leveraging its own philanthropic resources and position with those of the private, public, and non-profit sectors, EBCF is a critical force for change in the dynamically changing region.

EBCF grants to organizations and initiatives throughout the region from its own endowment and from donor recommendations in two key focus areas: economic development and support for early childhood success. EBCF also strives to be a leader in promoting equity and inclusion, placing high value on the cultural, racial, ethnic, economic, and sexual diversity of the East Bay to develop innovative approaches for building sustainable communities. EBCF holds itself accountable to equity and inclusion by creating and retaining a Board and staff who reflect the diversity of the East Bay so that it can provide donors and communities with the broadest possible perspective.
