Grantmaking Guidelines
updated 02/09/09
Founded in 1968, The Gamble Foundation is primarily
interested in supporting organizations that serve disadvantaged children
and youth in San Francisco, Marin and Napa counties. Within the field
of youth development, the Foundation focuses on literacy, educational
and personal enrichment programs designed to open doors of opportunity
for at-risk youth in order to help them succeed in school and become
productive, self-sufficient members of society. The Foundation is particularly
interested in agricultural/environmental education, financial &
computer literacy, vocational training and programs that prevent substance
abuse and teen violence. To a lesser degree, the Foundation supports
environmental organizations that focus on land preservation and sustainability,
animal welfare and management, and pollution control. The foundation
is interested in promoting green concepts that increase awareness of
science based solutions that help reduce consumption of finite resources.
The Foundation prefers to fund specific projects rather than annual
appeals. In general, the Foundation does not support medical research,
individuals, endowments, or capital improvements. Grants range from
$5,000 to $20,000. All requests are answered with a written response.
