The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health has allocated $91,800 in emergency grants to 14 Santa Clara County nonprofit agencies that face substantial cuts from their other funding sources, including Community Solutions for children, families, and individuals.
The one-time grants, which support agencies that serve children and youth, range from $2,100 to $12,500. All of the recipient organizations are current grantees of Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health.
The emergency grants are intended to provide interim relief to agencies affected by cuts from a variety of funding sources. The larger grants went to “safety net” agencies that support basic needs, such as housing and food.
The grants are unrestricted and can be used to cover core operating expenses. Many foundations, including the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, traditionally award restricted grants for individual programs.
In addition to these special grants, the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health makes grants twice yearly in its two focus areas: protecting children, ages 0 to 5, from injury, with an emphasis on preventing child abuse and neglect; and promoting behavioral mental, and emotional health in preteens. To date, the foundation has awarded 151 grants, totaling $16,714,684, to 95 different nonprofit organizations.
