About Bloomfield Family Foundation
The Bloomfield Family Foundation appears to function largely as a private grantmaker that seeded a new, large philanthropic vehicle while also supporting education reform and public policy groups in California. Outside of the one dominant capital grant to establish GG's Family Foundation, its discretionary giving favors charter school advocacy, education policy organizations, and a mix of healthcare and bereavement services, with occasional support for local civil rights/community organizing and major university medical research.

About Bloomfield Family Foundation
A $36 million capital grant to establish Gg's Family Foundation is the clearest marker of how the Bloomfield Family Foundation works: it can seed a new philanthropic vehicle at a very large scale, then continue with a steady stream of general-support grants around education, policy, health, and grief services. That combination of start-up capital and operating support runs through the recent record. The foundation gave repeated support to Tragedy Assist Program for Survivors, and it backed California education-policy and school-choice organizations such as the California Policy Center and Edvoice Institute. Its portfolio also reaches into hospital and university-based medical philanthropy, including Providence Little Company of Mary Foundation and UCSF-related giving. Public policy advocacy appears alongside direct nonprofit support, with grants to Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Open Primaries Education Fund. The pattern suggests a private grantmaker that uses both one-time infrastructure funding and recurring general support to help build organizations and reinforce aligned policy and service providers.
What Bloomfield Family Foundation Funds
A major part of the foundation’s work is institution-building. In 2023, it made a $36 million capital grant to Gg's Family Foundation for establishment of a new foundation, which stands apart from its smaller operating grants. It also used general support to back educational advocacy and policy groups, including $480,000 to California Policy Center and $250,000 to Edvoice Institute. School-choice philanthropy is another clear theme: the foundation supported National Alliance for Public Charter Schools with $396,973 and Kipp Socal Public Schools with $100,000. Healthcare and research appear as well, through grants such as $250,000 to Providence Little Company of Mary Foundation and $572,000 to Uc San Francisco Foundation. Military bereavement support is another recurring line, with Tragedy Assist Program for Survivors receiving multiple grants.
How Bloomfield Family Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure to low-six-figure range, with a p25 of $20,000, median of $27,500, and p75 of $68,000. The distribution is shaped by one exceptional outlier: a $36 million capital grant, far above the rest of the schedule. The recent record also shows recurring support, not only one-time awards; Tragedy Assist Program for Survivors, California Policy Center, Edvoice Institute, Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and Alliance all appear more than once across the grant list. The foundation runs a general grantmaking program and accepts only invited giving, since unsolicited applications are not accepted.
