“This past year the Foundation funded over one-quarter of a million dollars in local programs. Some of these included: adult day care, housing for the homeless, our local Salvation Army, an elementary school violin program, early childhood education, and St. Joseph’s Family Center.”

The Gilroy Foundation’s Board of Directors is aware of local needs. The Directors have developed a strategic plan which involves a four-year campaign to increase its assets from $7.5 million to $10 million. Achieving this goal would make an additional $200,000 available annually for grant giving. The Board of Directors particularly wants to increase the Community Needs and Field of Interest Funds. These types of gifts give the Foundation greater freedom to address a wider range of needed community grants.
