During 1999, the Foundation made grants in the areas of medical research, education, the environment and social services. For the first time, the Foundation had specific regional goals for its grant making, particularly in the areas of social services and the environment. Social services grants were raised to a concentration of over 50% by dollar value in the San Francisco Bay Area, while new environmental programs were focused in the Northern Sierra Nevada region.
