  • Transit-Oriented Affordable Housing Fund Earns Award

    December 20, 2012 by Kate White

    I’ve never owned a car. When I need a quart of milk, I walk downstairs to the corner store.  For my 15-minute commute, I walk two blocks to BART. Walking, biking, and taking transit to everything I need means I not only save $5,000 a year (versus owning a car), I also have a healthy [...]

  • Remembering Our Friend and Leader: Warren Hellman

    December 18, 2012 by Sandra R. Hernández, M.D.

    How both slow and fast can a year go by? So many times, reaching for the phone, we went to get your view, your story, your joke of the day. We have had moments in the mountains, in meetings,  on a hike, on a bike, on a horse, at a concert or rehearsal and you [...]

  • Community Colleges – At the Heart of a Strong Workforce

    November 19, 2012 by Jessica Pitt

    I am still celebrating the passage of Proposition 30 by California voters last week. As the parent of a Kindergartner in a public school in Oakland, I am greatly relieved that my child’s school year will not be shortened, class sizes will not increase, and teachers won’t be laid off. But I’m also celebrating for [...]

    November 14, 2012 by Vanitha Venugopal

Yesterday we welcomed dozens of nonprofit visionaries – grant applicants – to our How to Apply Workshops.  These workshops provide nonprofits in our region with information on the guidelines and process of applying online [...]
