About Us

The East Bay Community Foundation is committed to advancing a Just East Bay.

We mobilize generous donors, organizations, corporations, policy makers, and community leaders to leverage all community assets to transform the lives of people in the East Bay. We believe in advancing a Just East Bay – where all communities have supports in place not only to survive, but to thrive.

What We Do

We partner with community members to champion quality education for all students, fight for good jobs and livable wages, and invest in high-impact community programs.
