As part of our commitment to the Power of Many, the East Bay Community Foundation has joined more than 500 organizations and individuals across America in the  Ready Nation  pledge,  supporting the importance of quality early childhood development programs.

“Signing this pledge, created by the Pew Charitable Trusts, provides another means for us to harness our local investments to address this crucial nationwide issue,” says Nicole Taylor, President & Chief Executive Officer of the East Bay Community Foundation.

During the past three years, the Foundation has granted  $1.5 million of our own funds and leveraged $4.7 million from other contributors  for investments in creating economic opportunity through early childhood education and through  assisting  adults most in need get good jobs.

You can help.  You, too, can be the Power of Many.
