DescThe Embarcadero Media Foundations Holiday Fund is a group of annual three-month long campaigns hosted by The Foundation to support local nonprofit organizations serving families and children in the San Francisco Bay Area communities of Palo Alto, East Palo Alto, Mountain View, Menlo Park, Redwood City and Pleasanton. The public campaign raises money from individuals, family, foundations and other organizations, then makes grants to local nonprofits. One hundred percent of donation proceeds to the Holiday Funds are distributed to grantees as determined by a grant committee. The campaign raises most of its funds between October and January. Grants awarded support a wide variety of agencies and programs that provide services to children and families in our region, ranging from services for the homeless, tutoring and child care programs, educational enrichment or remedial programs, mental health counseling services, cultural and arts programs, summer camp programs and scholarships for graduating high school students needing financial assistance to continue their education at community or four-year colleges.Desc

ExplanationThe grants made by Embarcadero Media Foundation are all related to the foundation's Holiday Fund program. The Holiday Fund is a group of annual three-month long campaigns hosted by The Embarcadero Media Foundation to raise funds for other nonprofit organizations on the Peninsula. One hundred percent of donation proceeds to the Holiday Funds are distributed to grantees as determined by a grant committee.The program primarily receives donations between October of the current year and February of the subsequent year, and grants are paid in April of the subsequent year. This report lists grants that were awarded in 2024. In November of each year, more than 200 local nonprofits are notified of the grant opportunity and are provided guidelines for applying online no later than the application deadline in January. The process involves completing a detailed online application which requires information on the mission, history, programs, geographic area served and tax-exempt status of the organization, submission of financial statements, information on their executive director/CEO and directors and a description of the community needs their grant would address. The grant committee, composed of two Embarcadero Media Foundation officers and several community members, reviews each application, conducts site visits or interviews when appropriate to obtain additional information, and then determines how to allocate the funds raised. To monitor the grantees' use of the funds we require a written report and the end of each year, as well as notification of any changes in the funded program that were necessary after the grant was made.ExplanationTxt
