A thriving West Marin for all,
for always.

We support projects that bring our communities together and make life in West Marin more vibrant and connected. We advance this goal through dedicated Community Enrichment Grants, long-term support for the Tomales Bay Youth Center, and by supporting the next generation of community leaders through Giving Through Youth.

We invest in the people and organizations that keep West Marin strong. We combine community-led grantmaking with direct organizational support, including professional training, administrative assistance, and fostering collaboration, a model that has greater and more sustained impact than funding alone. We advance this goal through Organizational Effectiveness Grants, by hosting the West Marin Collaborative, and through Collaborative Impact Grants, our largest grantmaking program, which provides both a framework and an incentive for otherwise independent organizations to work together on shared challenges.

Through close partnerships with community members, nonprofits, and public agencies, we bring together the people and resources needed to identify gaps and opportunities to address urgent challenges and build lasting change. We engage in timebound initiatives where focused investment, leadership, and coordination can help move complex issues forward. By bringing people together, supporting leadership, and directing resources where they’re needed most, we help build the relationships, capacity, and momentum to launch solutions that will endure after our direct involvement ends.

Our programming evolves alongside our community, responding to the changing realities of West Marin. Currently, we are working to catalyze solutions in three areas where we see potential to create lasting change.
