East Bay Community Foundation
We envision an East Bay where everyone has the economic freedom to dream, heal, and belong. Founded in 1928, EBCF partners with donors, community organizations, foundations, government, and corporations to eliminate barriers, advance equity, and transform our community for all who call the East Bay home.
