Grantees

Palo Alto Community Fund’s 2024 Annual Grants portfolio includes 42 new annual grants, 29 new multi-year grants in year 1, and 26 multi-year grants in year 2 awarded to organizations that support families, uplift the vulnerable, enhance community life, and encourage educational equity in our community. For over 40 years, PACF’s Annual Grant making process has channeled the giving of local donors to focus on supporting the organizations that provide the network of support for our neighbors in Palo Alto, East Palo, and Menlo Park. 

The Dave Mitchell Impact Grants, first awarded in 2020, are considered separately from PACF’s annual grants and are specifically designed to help local nonprofit programs significantly move the needle towards addressing long term systemic issues. For 2024, PACF awarded 3 grants to nonprofit organizations addressing the prominent and pressing needs of youth mental health, housing security, and developmental disabilities.

Irene Wong, PACF’s CEO, awards Cammie Vail Executive Director Grants throughout the year to organizations in recognition of strong leadership, significant collaboration, and those facing emergencies.
