Education
Apply During Grant Cycle
Supporting the childcare & educational needs of students throughout Santa Barbara County, from early childhood through the transition to college, including those students who are traditionally underserved.
This includes basic education and educational equity programs as well as childcare, summer, and after school enrichment services. While our primary focus will be basic education, programs that target educational opportunities in the arts, science/environment, and diversity/inclusion/access will be considered. Grants to public school programs are on a case-by-case basis and the High School Academies are no longer eligible for funding. See the eligibility requirements for more information.
Apply during the August, December, & April Grant Cycles.
Mental Health
Apply During Grant Cycle
Supporting the mental health needs of youth, families, and adults throughout Santa Barbara County.
We are seeking nonprofit partners whose mission is to provide direct mental health and wellness services or programming specifically to children, youth, families, and adults. We are interested in programs that are targeting specific behavioral health outcomes as opposed to being a secondary benefit of the program/service.
Apply during the August, December, & April Grant Cycles.
