With a contribution of any amount, you can help drive positive change by funding innovative solutions to the region's most challenging problems. The Community Endowment Fund is a permanent charitable resource that grows through your support and provides vital funding to nonprofit organizations in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
Community Endowment Fund
The Community Endowment Fund empowers anyone to be a philanthropist.
We established this flexible, unrestricted fund to respond quickly to local needs. If a natural disaster or other unforeseen event should occur, the endowment allows SVCF to step in and provide emergency support where it's needed most urgently. The Community Endowment Fund is, in effect, a savings account protecting and serving our region now and in perpetuity.
Individuals are able to make a lasting commitment to our community with a gift of $10,000 or more and be honored as a Legacy Society member. Donations may be made to SVCF through a will, trust or other planned gift. Additionally, those individuals who make an outright gift with a one-time or cumulative value of $10,000 or more to the Community Endowment Fund or Silicon Valley Regional Endowment Fund are invited to join both our Legacy Society and be listed on the Tom Ford Honor Roll.
The Tom Ford Honor Roll celebrates the wonderful tradition of giving created by Tom Ford. A long-time philanthropist, Tom established the Sand Hill Endowment Fund as a legacy of giving and community support in Silicon Valley. Since SVCF’s inception in 2007, the fund has contributed more than $56 million to SVCF’s grantmaking priorities, resulting in substantial and lasting benefits in our community. The Tom Ford Honor Roll celebrates those donors, like Tom, who recognize the tremendous value of supporting SVCF’s endowment.
