The Stone Family Foundation Grant Program

The Stone Family Foundation is a family-led foundation that actively supports organizations to improve equity, vibrancy, and sustainability. The Foundation provides grants to charitable organizations working in several priority areas including education and empowerment of girls and vulnerable populations in low-income countries, environmental preservation and protection, critical thinking and civic engagement, youth initiatives in Santa Barbara County California, and volunteer hospice care and bereavement counseling. Grants are typically awarded in amounts between $25,000 and $50,000 to publicly supported tax-exempt organizations recognized under IRC Section 501(c)(3). Applications are by invitation only, though interested parties working in the Foundation's priority areas may submit a letter of interest describing their organization and proposed use of funds. The application process begins with a letter of interest submission, with annual deadlines typically in mid-year.
