During 2001, the Foundation made grants in the areas of medical and scientific research, education, the environment and social services.  Regionally our grant making continues to focus more on organizations based in California and the San Francisco Bay Area in particular as compared to prior years.  California accounted for 53% of all grant dollars, over 96% of Environmental grant dollars, 61% of Social Service grant dollars, and over 40% of Research grant dollars.  We increased the number of multi-year commitments we’ve made in both research and environmental programs and expanded our funding for rural medical training to include the Pacific Northwest.  To view specific grants and their objectives by focus area please select from the menu above.
