How to Donate
The Bay Area Inspire Awards were started by a small group of Bay Area residents interested in building local communities that work better for all residents, especially those whose lives are difficult. The community initiative, administered by Philanthropic Ventures Foundation since 2014, provides $5,000 grants to 18-30 year olds who have innovative ideas for improving social equity in San Francisco, Alameda, and San Mateo Counties.
We are proud to have completed three rounds of Bay Area Inspire Awards funding. However, there is much more work to do! You can help us expand the program to make more awards available to additional committed young social innovators throughout the Bay Area.
Please help additional talented young people make positive change in their communities by making a tax-deductible contribution to the Bay Area Inspire Awards fund at the Philanthropic Ventures Foundation.
