Silicon Valley Community Foundation is focused on innovative solutions that solve problems and improve the quality of life throughout San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. Our five grantmaking strategies are Economic Security, Immigrant Integration, Education, Regional Planning and a Community Opportunity Fund that responds to time-sensitive community challenges.
Immigrant Integration Grantmaking Strategies
In our region, one-third of our residents are immigrants, nearly half of our workforce is foreign-born and close to two-thirds of those under the age of 18 are children of immigrants. Given this demographic reality, a new social model of immigrant integration - one that promotes mutual benefits for immigrants and their receiving communities while allowing newcomers enhanced civic participation and improved economic mobility - is critical.
