Grants to California nonprofits in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma Counties for programs in the areas of community investment and sustainable environments. Webinars will be held December 10 and 15.
Community Investment grants will nurture the health, wellbeing and livelihoods of young people and their families through investments in the economic, social and physical infrastructure of their communities. Sustainable Environments grants will build the resiliency of communities by enhancing the connectivity between residents and the natural environment that surrounds them.
The grant program has two phases:
Phase 1: 50 Fund will select up to 4 organizations through an open application process. Each of these organizations will receive a minimum award of $200,000. Recipient organizations will be notified by January 25, 2016.
Phase 2: 50 Fund will curate a campaign aimed at engaging with fans and enabling them to personally contribute towards the San Francisco Bay Area Super Bowl 50 Host Committee’s commitment to deliver Super Bowl 50 as a “Net Positive” event for the three weeks leading up to Super Bowl week and during Super Bowl Week itself—particularly in Super Bowl City.
Fans participating in this campaign will be offered the opportunity to direct how an additional $200,000 50 Fund Sustainable Environments Grant Pool is to be allocated between the 4 recipient organizations. Recipient organizations will be notified of their share of the Grant Pool by no later than 7th February 2016.
