The S L Gimbel Foundation makes highly concentrated, large-scale philanthropic investments aimed at supporting regional philanthropy rather than direct service delivery. All recorded giving is directed to the Inland Empire Community Foundation as multi-grant support for that foundation’s mission, indicating the fund operates primarily as a donor or institutional supporter of a local community foundation in Southern California. The foundation’s approach suggests it prefers to enable intermediary grantmaking and community-directed priorities through unrestricted or general support. There is no evidence of direct funding to operating nonprofits or multiple programmatic areas in the grants shown.
Extremely concentrated: very large gifts exclusively to a single intermediary (repeat grants to the same community foundation), indicating a strategy of supporting local grantmaking capacity rather than diverse, direct program grants.
