About Harbor Point Charitable Foundation
Harbor Point Charitable Foundation’s recent giving shows a strong Bay Area pattern: repeated support for organizations serving adults and children in need, especially in health, education, arts, athletics, and nutrition. The foundation’s largest recent grant was $50,000 to St Vincent De Paul Society in San Rafael, followed by a $40,000 grant to To Celebrate Life Foundation in Kentfield and a $37,000 grant to St Vincent De Paul Society in San Rafael in 2023. Those awards point to a funder that backs established local nonprofits rather than one-off projects alone.
The foundation also returns to the same partners across multiple years. Vivalon Whistlestop received $35,000 in 2025, after $20,000 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2023. Marin County Office of Educat appears in three consecutive years as well, with grants of $20,000 in 2023 and 2024 and $20,000 again in 2025. Other repeat recipients include To Celebrate Life Foundation, Muttville, Mountain Play Association, and School Rule Marin. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships with a core set of Marin and San Francisco Bay Area organizations, alongside support for event sponsorships and direct grants.

How Harbor Point Charitable Foundation Gives
Harbor Point Charitable Foundation’s typical grants are modest but not uniform: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $16,900. The recent list also includes a few larger awards, such as $50,000 and $40,000, which sit above that core band. The pattern is repetitive rather than one-off: several recipients appear in multiple years, including Vivalon Whistlestop, Marin County Office of Educat, To Celebrate Life Foundation, Muttville, Mountain Play Association, and School Rule Marin. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its active annual grants program accepts unsolicited applications, while some sponsorship programs are marked as unsolicited and others are not.
