Giving Circles

Giving Circles can be a very fulfilling way to meet new individuals who share your interests and values and leverage your own giving. We support various groups who give together under an agreed upon set of criteria.

Many of these Giving Circles are open to accepting new members. A member of our Development team can help you learn more about Giving Circles and community funds.

Community Funds

EBCF is proud to house various giving vehicles started by coalitions of local nonprofits. These coalitions have their own giving criteria and decision-making processes, and their funds are amazing examples of community leadership and the democratization of philanthropy.

If you are a donor looking to make a donation to a community-driven solution, the funds listed below are a great place to start.

For more information about giving circles and community funds, please contact our Development Team.

The East Bay Needs You Today

The government shutdown is threatening vital services like food assistance, leaving our most vulnerable neighbors at risk. At the same time, increased ICE activity is creating fear and instability—parents are afraid to pick up their children from school or go to work.

East Bay Community Foundation is deeply rooted in the community and connected to the organizations doing the most impactful work. If you’re concerned about these urgent issues, make a gift or request a transfer from your donor-advised fund. Our team will ensure your donation reaches the groups best equipped to respond to today’s most pressing needs.
