Santa Barbara Foundation Announces over $2.3 Million in Impact Grants
45 Non-Profits Benefit in Annual Funding to Address Critical Community Issues
The Santa Barbara Foundation today announced its 2010 Impact Grants, awarding over $2.3 million to 45 nonprofit organizations.
One of three new responsive grants programs, Impact Grants are the Foundation’s largest grants program and the centerpiece of its new community investments and discretionary giving.
The Impact Grants program provides larger grants to support nonprofit efforts that have the most promise of “moving the needle” in the community. The grants focus on – but are not limited to – arts and culture, education and youth development, environment and economic development, health, human services, and civic engagement and aim to strengthen our county’s capacity to bring about and sustain “vibrant communities.” (Attachment A)
