The Kinkade Family Foundation appears to prioritize small-to-mid sized arts and cultural projects with a particular interest in community-focused and Latinx/immigrant-serving programs. Most grants support exhibitions, arts-access programs, and grassroots community organizations, with a handful of general operating gifts to policy/leadership organizations. Giving is modest in scale and often directed to culturally specific or inclusive arts initiatives in California and nationally.
