The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health has approved $1.79 million in grants to 13 nonprofit and public agencies that serve youth in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
The awards range from $90,000 to $230,000, covering periods from one to three years. Funds support programs in two focus areas: protecting children, ages 0 to 5, from injury, with an emphasis on preventing child abuse and neglect; and promoting behavioral, and emotional health in preteens.
Five of the awarded grants, totaling $835,000, were given to agencies in Santa Clara County.
The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health makes community grants twice yearly in its two focus areas. Funds for the grants program come from the foundation’s endowment and a partnership grant from The David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
