Clovis Community Foundation (CCF) exists to enrich the quality of life in Clovis by promoting effective philanthropy in the areas of culture, arts, and recreation.
A defining feature of Clovis Community Foundation is its use of the Community Benefit Fee, a perpetual funding source generated by a small percentage of home sale prices and directed by the board to quality-of-life projects in Clovis. That structure shapes a grantmaking profile centered on recreation, arts and culture, community development, youth programs, and environment or nature education. The foundation’s recent awards show that it often supports facilities and programs that serve local residents directly, rather than broad regional or national work. Two recurring recipients illustrate that pattern. Clovis Botanical Gardens received $60,000 in 2023 and $40,000 in 2025 for facility maintenance and supplies, while Fresno Wildlife Rehab received $10,000 in both 2023 and 2025 for fencing and habitat maintenance. The foundation also supported Friends of the Clovis Sr Ctr with a $50,000 grant in 2024, pointing to attention to community-serving spaces and programming. Across the grants list, Clovis Community Foundation appears focused on practical support for places, programs, and organizations that help shape daily life in Clovis.
Facility and site support is a clear thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. Clovis Botanical Gardens received $60,000 in 2023 and $40,000 in 2025 for facility maintenance and supplies, showing direct investment in the upkeep of a local nature-oriented site. Fresno Wildlife Rehab was awarded $10,000 in 2023 and again in 2025 for fencing and habitat maintenance. Program support also appears in awards to community organizations. Clovis Boys and Girls received $10,000 in 2023, $8,136 in 2024, and $10,000 in 2025 for program assistance and facility maintenance. The foundation gave $10,250 in 2025 to Cusd for program activities, indicating support for local programming as well as physical assets. A separate grant to Friends of the Clovis Sr Ctr for $50,000 in 2024 shows that the foundation also backs community-serving spaces tied to recreation and social connection.
Typical grant size clusters at $10,000, with p25 at $10,000, a median of $10,000, and p75 at $50,000. The recent list includes both repeated and one-time support: Clovis Botanical Gardens, Fresno Wildlife Rehab, and Clovis Boys and Girls each appear in more than one year, while Friends of the Clovis Sr Ctr and Cusd appear in a single recent award. Clovis Community Foundation is a public charity, not a fund that supports individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The active programs show board-discretionary grantmaking, and several programs accept unsolicited proposals.
