East Bay Community Foundation

**About Us** East Bay Community Foundation is helping build a community that is worthy of the people who call this amazing place home. Founded in 1928, EBCF was one of the nation’s first community foundations, now serving people across Alameda and Contra Costa counties. We partner with donors, fund advisors, social movements, and the wider community to eliminate structural barriers, advance racial equity, and transform political, social, and economic outcomes for all East Bay residents. Over the past several years, the Foundation has started implementing new ways of partnering with donors, social movements, and the community at large. In addition to our grantmaking, we engage in advocacy within allowable limits to advance racial justice. We work closely with our donors as partners and leaders in this journey. **Mission & Vision** As we have embraced our commitment to racial justice, we are becoming more than just a philanthropic services organization. In order to meet our bold goals and vision, we are pursuing a community foundation model that looks at new ways to educate, engage, and organize its donors and the broader community.
