About Fairfield Community Services Foundation
Fairfield Community Services Foundation’s grantmaking is shaped by a mix of direct community programming and recurring support for local youth, families, and seniors in Fairfield. Among the clearest signals is its annual Assist-A-Grad Scholarship program for Solano County graduating high school seniors, which has awarded over $39,000 since 1996 and includes an award in memory of Lt. Col. Rex Floyd. The foundation also funds seasonal and practical assistance that shows up in the recent grants list as toy and coat giveaways, backpack distribution, food giveaways, and kids’ sports events. The recent record shows the foundation working through Fairfield-based public and community partners. The City of Fairfield appears repeatedly across multiple years and program types, suggesting a steady local service model rather than one-off project support. Its stated purpose aligns with this pattern: improving the lives of Fairfield’s underserved youth, families, and seniors by providing support and services that give hope. Recent grants also include support for St. Marks Food Pantry in Napa, indicating some grantmaking beyond Fairfield city limits while remaining within a Northern California community-services frame.
What Fairfield Community Services Foundation Funds
Education support is a clear line of giving. Fairfield Community Services Foundation awarded $29,170 in 2024 and $21,585 in 2025 to Assist-a-grad for scholarships, alongside the long-running Assist-A-Grad Scholarship program for Solano County graduating high school seniors. Seasonal family assistance is another recurring area. In 2024, the foundation gave $52,139 to the City of Fairfield for a toy and coat giveaway, followed by $21,370 in 2025 for a toy and clothes giveaway with dinners. It also funded an annual backpack giveaway in 2024, which fit its school-readiness and back-to-school support theme. Food assistance appears in both holiday and pantry-based forms. The foundation gave $9,720 in 2023 to the City of Fairfield for a Christmas food giveaway, then supported St. Marks Lutheran Church in Napa for St. Marks Food Pantry.
How Fairfield Community Services Foundation Gives
Typical grants sit in the low five-figure range: the 25th percentile is $9,239, the median is $20,420, and the 75th percentile is $30,260. The recent record includes both larger seasonal awards and smaller food-pantry gifts, so the pattern is active but not uniform. Grants recur to the same local recipients across multiple years, especially the City of Fairfield and Assist-a-grad, showing repeated support rather than isolated awards. Fairfield Community Services Foundation is classified as a mixed community foundation, and it does accept unsolicited applications for its Assist-A-Grad Scholarship program.
