One of the League's goals is to ensure that community foundation coverage extends throughout the state, providing every California nonprofit organization with a source of possible funding or other assistance.

Community foundations across California work in partnership with nonprofit organizations to address the most pressing needs in our communities, bringing together donors with similar concerns and directing their gifts in support of specific outcomes. Many community foundations manage permanent endowments for individual nonprofits or provide these organizations with management assistance to help ensure their ongoing effectiveness.

League members will distribute more than $500 million this year to community-based organizations working across a wide range of focus areas. Each community foundation establishes its own grantmaking process and guidelines.
