About Tamalpais Pacific

Tamalpais Pacific’s recent grantmaking is centered on affordable and supportive housing, with a strong pattern of backing projects that create permanent units, rehabilitate senior housing, and preserve low-income apartments in Marin County and the North Bay. The foundation also uses both grants and loans, and its recent awards show a mix of construction, conversion, and service-linked housing work rather than one-off philanthropic checks. One of its largest recent grants went to Episcopal Community Services in San Francisco for permanent units for people experiencing homelessness, reflecting the emphasis on supportive housing tied to long-term residency. Another major award supported Habitat for Humanity in San Francisco for low-income housing, while several other sizable grants were directed to North Bay organizations working on senior, family, and workforce housing. The recipient list also includes housing-focused groups in San Rafael, Novato, Santa Rosa, Mill Valley, and San Anselmo, which points to a regional strategy built around nonprofit developers and housing operators. Its portfolio includes both development and preservation, with recurring attention to housing for older adults, homeless veterans, and low-income women and children.

What Tamalpais Pacific Funds

Within supportive housing, Tamalpais Pacific backed Episcopal Community Services with $200,000 to construct permanent units for people experiencing homelessness. It also supported Homeward Bound with $85,000 for homeless veteran housing, showing that its housing work includes distinct resident groups rather than a single program model. For affordable family and workforce housing, the foundation gave Habitat for Humanity $165,000 for low-income housing and Canal Alliance $100,000 for low-income housing. Senior housing is another clear thread: Homeward Bound received $100,000 for housing homeless seniors, PEP Housing received $75,000 for senior affordable housing, and The Redwoods received $35,000 for rehab of senior affordable housing. Preservation and rehabilitation appear as well, including ArtWorks Downtown’s $35,000 grant for upgrades for low-income apartments and Ross Valley Ecumenical House’s $30,020 grant for rehab of senior units in assisted living.

How Tamalpais Pacific Gives

Tamalpais Pacific’s typical grant size sits at $18,800 at the 25th percentile, $40,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including The Living Room, Homeward Bound, Ross Valley Ecumenical House, and Marin Environment Housing Coalition, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation is a pure DAF provider and does not fund individuals. It also makes grants and loans, and the active programs describe competitive grant and loan funding for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Unsolicited applications are accepted in some active programs.
