We advance racial and economic equity, land justice, and community ownership by delivering flexible capital and responsive advising.
Community Vision Capital & Consulting centers racial and economic equity, land justice, and community ownership through flexible capital and responsive advising. Its recent grant record shows a strong emphasis on California-based community organizations working on land, housing, and real estate readiness, with repeated support for community land trusts, development corporations, and arts and culture groups. The largest recent award in the data is $40,000 to California Farmlink for general support, alongside $30,000 grants to Solano Advocates for Victims of Violence and Northern California Grantmakers for general operating support. The foundation also supports organizations advancing Indigenous land work and community-controlled property. It gave $27,247 to Sogorea Te' Land Trust and $27,247 to First Nations Development Institute in 2024, both for general operating support, and earlier gave $14,479 to each of those same grantees in 2023. That repeat pattern points to a funder that combines operating support with ongoing relationships. Programmatically, the organization connects grantmaking with capital tools: it makes program-related investments and runs California-based initiatives focused on community-owned real estate, pre-development financing, and arts organizations building real estate readiness.
Community Vision Capital & Consulting gives across a set of closely related community-development areas. In land justice, it awarded $27,247 to Sogorea Te' Land Trust for general operating support and also funded Sacramento Community Land Trust and Oakland Community Land Trust with $10,000 grants each. Those gifts fit the funder’s stated focus on community ownership and community asset preservation. Affordable housing and real estate readiness are another clear thread. The foundation gave $10,000 to Richmond Community-owned Development Enterprise and $10,000 to South Bay Community Land Trust, both for general support, and it also supports pre-development financing through its Catalyst Fund. Arts and culture appear through both grantmaking and a cohort program: Malonga Arts Collective received $10,000 for general operating support, and the CREATE program is designed for arts organizations building financial resilience and real estate readiness. The foundation also funds technical assistance and advising for nonprofits through CalCORE and related work.
